Hi! Here is one tephritid fly I do not know what genus it belongs to. I tried to identify it, but I fell into doubts and never could identify it down to genus or species level. As for me, it resembles somewhat the genus Paroxyna, but I am not sure. Can someone tell me what genus (or maybe species) is it? It has been caught in agricultural communities in the Central European Russia this year. The picture has been made through a magnifier, so some morphological structures can be seen very good.
Good luck and thanks advance!

I think it is
Campiglossa grandinata (ex-
Paroxyna), but let's wait for a more educated opinion.

Campiglossa grandinata would also be my educated guess. One of the main leads are the two hyaline spots in the stigma in stead of the usual one or none.
