Hello Ben,
Thank you for everything. I appreciate you very much. I've read the entire document and it is very informative. I will submit legs for a dna test. I understand that there may be cryptic host related species. My Wife did some research on the plant and she determines it to be a Centaurea Knapweed sp. I agree.
I was searching for more data about Tephritidae and i was able to acquired a copy of "A revision of the genus Chaetorellia" by Ian White. I am happy about this find. I didn't have material about
C. acrolophi, so this is a good addition to my library.
I will examine these Tephritids soon. I want to document the genitalia.
I hope that you have a pleasant day, :)
John
