Hello,
Is it Aciura coryli or Oxyaciura tibialis?
Is the number of orbital setae the only visible difference between the two species?
Is the white/black/yellow area of the wing basis variable?

This one oviposits on Rosmarinus officinalis
Ca. 4 mm; 13.08.2009; Southern France (+/- Marseille)

Oxyaciura tibialis R.-D. 1830.

I'd greatly appreciate granting me allowance to use this picture in a tephritid manual: this is obviously the first picture of HOW this species oviposite.

I guess that the babies are sometimes eaten by Eurytoma salvicola Zerova 2003...
