Hi Urs, Not Tephritidae but Pallopteridae. I should check which species exactly. Jan Willem |

Hi Jan Willem, so it is my first Pallopteridae. Thank you for the help. Perhaps you can find the species name. Regards Urs |

Hi Urs, I believe I get too little practice at identifying Pallopteridae to be able to do it instantly. However after having another look at your picture, I think I can identify this specimen as a female of Palloptera quinquemaculata (or Toxoneure quinquemaculata according to others). This species has a very broad ovipositor. Jan Willem |
