Very nice fly...
Species ID, please. And once again, thank you.

1 =
Thereva sp. (Therevidae). The shining calli [another term missing from the glossary paul :p] on the head are typical for females of this genus. In most species they form a continous band. I don't know all central/southern European species but it may be possible to find a species name. Where was this pohto taken?
2 =
Tephritis sp. (Tephritidae). Again, perhaps a expert can say more, we'll see.

The Thereva was taken in Valega - PORTUGAL - 35 km south of Oporto. The Tephritis too... They was taken both today. (in afternoon... about 7 p.m.)
All photos I showed before were taken here in Portugal - Southern Europe.
I'm waiting for more opinions. Thank you for advance.
That shinning calli... which are their role on fly?

LoL, do you think I can add, say, one thousand terms in a few weeks.
:) Before you start complaining: If you want you can submit terms of your own. :p
So if you think something is missing, maybe you should be the one to add it. B)

Who is the expert in Tephritidae and Therevidae so he/she could help to identify specie..? Thank you once again!
This a great group! If you are concerned about genus of spiders I can give a help. (to the species I dont have yet stereomicroscope).
