Hi,

Pushing it trough the book of Wang (1996) The fruitflies of the East Asian Region I come to T. tianmushana.
- three pairs of frontal setae. (impossible to see in this picture, but the only species having four frontal setae has an entirely different wingpattern).
- An isolated hyaline spot present at the apex of the wing
- preapical brown band in cell dm extending to posterior margin of wing. (This is the band between the two crossveins)
- Wing with an oblique brown band from the pterostigma to crossvein r-m: T. tianmushana.

Cheers,

John
