Goniglossum wiedemanni is a species of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae, and the only species in the genus Goniglossum.
This species is sometimes included in the genus Carpomya. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Goniglossum wiedemanni can reach a body length of 3.5–5.1 millimetres (0.14–0.20 in) in male, of 4.5–5.5 millimetres (0.18–0.22 in) in females. Wings can reach a length of 2.8–3.8 millimetres (0.11–0.15 in) in males, of 3.6–4.5 millimetres (0.14–0.18 in). [5] These fruit flies have an elongate head, with a long proboscis. Thorax is yellowish with dark brown markings. Scutellum has three usually isolated black spots. Abdomen is yellow to reddish-brown, without black bands, but with golden-yellow margins of tergites 2–4 in male, 2–5 in female. The last tergite is bare and shiny. Wings are hyaline, with brown bands. [5] [6]
This species is present in Austria, Belgium, the British Isles, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, and in the Near East. [7]
Adults can be seen from May to August, with a peak period in July. [8] [9] They feed on nectar of Bryonia dioica.
This species is host-specific to white bryony ( Bryonia alba, Bryonia dioica) ( Cucurbitaceae), in which berries larvae develop. [6] [5]
