PS. I am not sure about the proposed identification. Some characters do *not* match the description of
C. triceratops. But the genus is probably correct. So let's wait the the real tephritid specialists of the forum before moving on.

This indeed magnificent fly is a
Cornutrypeta, and it might well be
C. triceratops. But it's difficult to tell from this photo's. For a possitive ID I need to know the colour of the fifith tarsomere and a good view of the side of the head, in order to be able to see how many orbital setae it has (not the extraordinary large frontal setae).

Well in this case all characters indicate
C. triceratops, though the wing pattern is different, so it might well be a new species....
