Hallo! These pics were taken on July-16 on a Mahonia bush at our house in Ostwestfalen/Germay. I have taken a look at the gallery of this forum, but can't get an identification, yet. Lerngth about 5 mm. Thanks for help!

Trypeta immaculata? I'm interested to see what the specialist opinion will be as I have recently collected a number of flies belonging to this genus and nearby Stemonocera. They are not that easy to identify, especially the females (and that's what one usually finds) are tricky.

Hi, My guess would have been Rhagoletis meigenii but I'm certainly not a specialist. Jan Willem |

Hi Juergen, This is indeed Rhagoletis meigenii, like Jan-Willem says. The genus Rhagoletis can be destinguished by the longer setae at the top of the third femur, apico-ventrally. I'll look up the differences between the other genera for you. John |
