Tephritis sp. nr. conura ( Fig. 2)

Material. Russia: Republic of Adygea, Maykop district, Lagonak highland, reared from Cirsium obvallatum , coll. 13.08.2014 ― em. 17– 24.08.2014, 5 ♂, 2 ♀ (D. Evstigneev leg.).

Comment. Wing pattern significantly differs from European specimens of T. conura . Examined specimens possibly belong to an undescribed species, which can be described only after a detailed study of different “host races” assigned to T. conura (see also Romstock & Arnold,

1987).

Host plant. Cirsium obvallatum (M. Bieb.) Fisch.
