Good morning, can someone identify this Tephritis species? I looked through the gallery, but I still have no idea. It´s the only photo I have. Location: Germany, Rhineland-Palatinum, 53572 Unkel, river Rhine valley, Stux hill, dry and warm habitat (grapeyards), nearby deciduous forest (oak, Fagus ...), May 25th, 2025 Thanks in advance, Michael Michael Stemmer attached the following image:  [146.6Kb] Edited by Michael Stemmer on 02-01-2026 02:43 |

I can only guess, it could be a Campiglossum solidaginis. But this is a rare species and to be more confident, we would need more details.

Hello Eric, that was my only photo of this species, it`s a pity, obviously nothing can be done. But thank you for your answer, Michael |

The most probable (99,9%) option is a female of Campiglossa misella (Loew, 1869). It has quite a variable wing pattern (in addition, sexually dimorphic!), and is associated with Artemisia vulgaris, but clearly differs from the very rare C. solidaginis in having gray tomentose mesonotum with dark vittae (never in solidaginis).

Thank you, Val, for your answer. What do you think: can I name the specimen "Campiglossa misella", or should I add "cf."? Artemisia vulgaris grows here at some places abundant. Greetings from the Stux hill, and Happy New Year, Michael |
