Campiglossa sororcula (Wiedemann, 1830)

Material examined. Madeira: Balcões ( 1 female) ; Boca da Corrida ( 3 females, 1 male); Calheta ( 2 males) ; Caniçal ( 8 females, 13 males) ; Chão da Ribeira ( 6 females, 8 males); Encumeada ( 2 males) ; Paul da Serra ( 1 female; 2 males); Ponta de São Lourenço ( 1 female, 2 males) ; Porto Novo ( 16 females, 15 males) ; Ribeira Brava ( 8 females, 9 males) ; Ribeira da Janela ( 2 males); Porto Santo: Pico do Castelo ( 1 female) ; Morenos ( 1 male) ; Serra de Fora ( 3 females, 3 males).

Remarks. Campiglossa sororcula was previously placed in the genus Dioxyna Frey, 1945 . However, a study on DNA barcoding by Smit et al. (2013) showed that this genus was placed within the genus Campiglossa and was recently formally synonymized by Han & Ro (2019). This species is distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. Larvae attack flower heads of Bidens sp. and other weeds ( Kapoor 2005; Starr & Starr 2011). This fly can be found in a variety of habitats from natural to urban areas ( Kapoor 2005) and is the most common and widespread tephritid in Madeira Island ( Smit 2006). Our records from Porto Santo are the first reported for the island.
