Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Urophora sp. - Switzerland

Hello,

I saw this Urophora sp. on 25 June 2020 in Switzerland. I posted this observation on another forum, where it was identified first U. jaceana, then U. cuspidata in a second time. It seems that it looks more like U. cuspidata than U. jaceana. What do you think ?

Seen on a Cyanus segetum.

Thank you!

the only reliable difference is the fore femur with black stripe in cuspidata and entirely orange in jaceana
