Hello,

I think that this is Orellia tussilaginis, but I'm not quite sure.

Can somebody confirm or infirm this determination?

Thanks in advance.

Jan,

Thanks.

Looking in the Fauna europaea, there is no Orellia tussilaginis. I had made my determination with the Haupt.

Hi Pierre,

There may be no Orellia tussilaginis but there is a Terellia tussilaginis. However I think this is not the species on your picture.

Thanks.

The dots on the back? Or something else?

In this group it can be recognised as Chaetorellia by the presence of presutural dorsal setae and as C. jaceae because the anterior supra-alar setae are not placed on black spots.

And, indeed, Orellia tussilaginis is now placed in Terellia.

Thanks for the precisions.
