Tephitis acanthophilopsis Hering, quite rare in colections, but occurring throughout Europe through Balcans, Turley to N Iran. Apparently a sister-species to
Tephritis cometa, and like the latter, associated with
Cirsium , but other than
arvense and
vulgare, the hosts of
cometa.
And yes, that group posesses white setula on the oviscape.
Add to the Gallery, please.
