Valerio, body is about 4mm long.

I checked and apparently Dioxyna develops in Bidens and Tagetes genera of Asteraceae.

Both genus are well represented in Reunion island. It could be it.




A thing that is better to don't understimate is that I've no idea about Reunion island (so beautiful place!) 's tephritids. :) So, can't be sure even about the genus.
