Korneyev, S. V. & Namin, S. Mohamadzade, 2019, A New Species Of The Genus Tephritis (Diptera, Tephritidae) From Iran, Vestnik Zoologii (Vestn. Zool.) 53 (2), pp. 123-130 : 128

Key to Tephritis species similar to T. campana sp. n. from the Western Palaearctic Region

1. Wing apex with narrow, stripe-like, dark rays connected to dark wing pattern as in figs 1 , 5; 3, 1; 3, 3; 3, 5; 3, 7; 3, 9; 3, 11. ..............................................................................................................................................2

– Wing apex either with wide subtriangular dark spots/rays or entire apical crossband, either connected or isolated from the remaining dark pattern, but not with narrow “rays”. ................................................... .......................................................................................... ther Tephritis species (not discussed in this paper)

2. One or two hyaline spots in cell r 1; cell r 2+3 entirely brown in its medial portion: only base and apex with hyaline areas ( figs 3 , 5; 3, 9). ................................................................................................................................ 3

– Two or three hyaline spots in cell r 1; cell r 2+3 with hyaline spots in its medial portion ( figs 1 , 5; 3, 1; 3, 3; 3, 7; 3, 11)..............................................................................................................................................................4

3. Cell cu with one or two dark rays. Cell r 1 as a rule with one hyaline spot; if with two then aculeus strongly narrowed subapically to short, pointed apex ( figs 3 , 9–10). ............................................................. .......................................................................................................... T. maccus group ( T. maccus and T. azari )

– Cell cu with three dark rays. Cell r 1 usually with two hyaline spots; if with one, then aculeus evenly pointed to its apex ( figs 3 , 5–6). .................................................................................................... T. santolinae

4. Preapical dark pattern of wing with numerous light yellow or hyaline dots. Aculeus dorsally with a keel. Associated with Lactuca tatarica ( figs 3 , 11–12). ............................................................................ T. oedipus

– Preapical dark pattern of wing entirely brown without dots........................................................................5

5. Сell cu with widespread pattern of connected dark spots (as in figs 3, 3; 3 , 7). Сell c either with dark spot in the middle or hyaline......................................................................................................................................6

– Сell cu at most with several narrow dark bars or completely hyaline (as in figs 1 , 5; 3, 1). Сell c entirely hyaline................................................................................................................................................................... 7

6. Wing pattern with horizontal dark “tail” in cells dm and cu connected to the rest of wing pattern ( fig. 3, 3 ). Aculeus tip with a pair of subapical steps laterally and barely incised apically ( fig. 3 , 4). ..................... ............................................................ T. hurvitzi group ( T. crinita , T. hurvitzi , T. merzi , and T. recurrens )

– Wing pattern with dark pattern in cells dm and cu ( fig. 3 , 7). Aculeus tip laterally smooth and apically deeply incised ( fig. 3 , 8). ........................................................................................... T. divisa and T. separata

7. Cell r 1 with 3 hyaline spots, if very rarely with two then crossvein r-m surrounded by two hyaline spots ( fig. 3 , 1 ) and cell dm mostly hyaline, at most with subapical narrow dark bars. ........................................ ................................................................ T. cometa group ( T. cometa , T. acanthiophilopsis , and T. erdemlii )

– Cell r 1 with 2 hyaline spots. Crossvein r-m in an entirely dark field and cell dm in apical half with several connected areas and partly confluent hyaline spots (as in figs 1, 1; 1 , 3 ). ............................... .................................................................................................................................................... T. campana sp. n.
