Tephritis sp.

From Hastings, East Sussex, 18th September this year. Using David Clements key it came out as T. divisa, using Smits Dutch key, T. separata. Any comments gratefully accepted.

Hi Chris, I can't find any information about the current status of T. separata in the UK, nor how it can be distinguished from T. divisa (I don't have Smit's key). So I'm no help to you, but I'd suggest contacting Laurence Clemons for further information, see the recording scheme page. Would be interested to know what he says if you do hear from him!
