Copenhagen, Denmark may 9, 2010.
In Diptera Gallery I´ve found T. hyosyami and T. hyoscyami.
For me it could be both of them.
Thanks in advance

Tephritis hyoscyami, LINNÉ, 1758 is the correct name, "hyosyami" is a spelling error.

This is hyoscyami - the other name you mention is a misspelling.

Let's share the medal for the first place, Valery Grin!
PS: The fly was surely named after the plant genus Hyoscyamus (engl. Henbane; Solanaceae - nightshade family). Very poisonous!

Indeed, Linnaeus certainly called it after Hyoscyamus. However, it has nothing to do with it: maggots live in the flower heads of midsized thistles like Carduus crispus, C. acanthoides (not C. nutans!). I can believe that someone's who collected them, considered thistle dry seed heads as the Hyoscyamus fruits, which are also quite prickly.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
