Not the best quality, but an alpine species now!? Unfortunally I don?t know the host plant and the specimen enscaped. I found this species again in the Kaunertal (Tirol) at 2700m - but the fly was to fast again. Any ideas? Thank you.

Not a tephritid but an ulidid: Herina frondescentiae (I hope spelled that right...).

"ups", a newbie mistake - how to delete a complete thread? ;)
Thank you very much, Kahis

There is one more doubtful family member? Wrong again?

I think so (wrong).
Looks for me like Palloptera.

No need to delete, just hit 'Edit' and change the original post :). It is recommended that you update the thread title to correct/best guess identifications anyway to help those who browse the archive at a later date.

Hi Frank,

Indeed the top one is Herina frondescentiae (spelled correctly Kahis!), and the bottom one is a Pallopteridae, thou no idea which species.
