Hi Nikita, Thanks for all the Tephritid photo's, it's a pleasure to see some beautiful flies every once in a while! This species does look like a Trupanea, though I am not sure if it's T. augur. I'll have to look into the literature. All four, for Tephritid 1 indeed is no tephritid, are from Sinai? John |

Indeed another Trupanea and indeed not the same species, but I still haven't had the time to look into the literature yet. |
