Hi Nikita,

Totally overlooked this one.
Not that I can be of much help.... it's an Tephritid. And that's pretty much all I can say about it, sorry.
It somewhat reminds me of Ceratitini, but I would need the wingvenation.

Cheers,
John

Hi Nikita,

Thanks for the second image.
Still hard to identify, but I will try. Give a few days and I hope to come up with an answer.

Hi Nikita,

It took a while, but I cam up with an answer: Phaeospilodes torquata. I am absolutely convinced it is this species, for the thrax pattern, the bristles, especially the very strong develloped ocellar bristels and the wingpattern fits perfectly. Fotunately there is a key for Thailand and the bordering countries Wink
Though it still was sometimes difficult to chose between characters that are not visible, e.g. the thorax should be coverred with fine yellowish setae... I'll just have to take their word for it, for it's not visible in your pfotographs.

Best wishes,

John

Thank you John!
Identificated Thai flies are still so rare!
Nikita

John!
According Hancock D. L.; Drew R. A. I. in article:
Bamboo-shoot fruit flies of Asia (Diptera: Tephritidae: Ceratitidinae)
http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/tandf/tnah/1999/00000033/00000005/art00001
Phaeospilodes torquata is synonym of Phaeospilodes fenestella (Coquillett).

Bay the way I foudn this fly exactly where it has to live - in dark forest of spiny bamboo!

Hi Nikita,

You're right. I neglected to look up the up-to-date nomenclature, and you're absolutely right.
