Hello,

Is it possible to determine the species of this specimen from this sole photo ?
Looks like Tephritis conura, but I don't know whenever there are other similar species or not...

Thanks !

Hello Benoit,

I would hazard the guess of Campiglossa loewiana (used to be Paroxyna loewiana), but that species is smaller than 7 mm. Did you include the wings in the total length?

Yes, I did.
But it's only an approximation, since I didn't measure the specimen, but determined the length from memory some time later.Frown

Then I think my identification will not be far off. Wink

Hi Benoit,

May I congratulate you with a nice picture of a pretty rare tephritid. Inspite of the names suggested (Campigloss and Tephritis) it is a different genus: Acinia corniculata. A rare species all over Europe. One of those genera with only a few species and closely related to Campiglossa, therefore quite often mistaken for something else. Very nice indeed.

Sorry, the differentiating characters are the clearly m-shaped wing-markings and the orange-brown colour of the body, thorax as well as the abdomen. You won't find any Campiglossa or Tephritis with orangebrown abdomen or thorax. The only genera with a more or less similar colour are Xyphosia or, though more yellow than orange, Oxyna, but these have a different wingpattern.
