This one was last week in Plan, Huesca, Pyrenees, NE Spain, in medium-mountain (about 1500 meters), prairies and mixed forest, in a flower of Daucus carota (exactly same flower of the Gymnosoma nitens that Jorge Mota Almeida posted some days ago). Size exactly as a Terellia and looks like one, but with marked wings and not in a thistle.
Can be identified?
Thanks,
Regards

Hi,
I think Urophora affinis is a good option, but you better wait for a second opinion..
Bye Jonas

Sorry Jonas. This is, indeed, a
Terellia (
Cerajocera), and the most probably, T. "
lappae" sensu Loew, Schiner, Hendel and Merz (also mentioned as "T.
gynaecochroma Hering" in the World Catalogue). This species very probably has no available scientific name - though it is very well known. Larvae in Onopordum.

Thanks a lot again Valery. Until now I don't knew painted-winged Terellia.
Please, can you take a look on this one?

Isidro: 23 years ago, the species of Orellia, Cerajocera and Terellia were resorted a bit (Korneyev, 1985) compared to old good Hendel in Lindner (1927), that is the reason why...
