Abstract

The Tephritidae (Diptera), comprising approximately 5,000 species across 492 genera, holds significant ecological and economic importance. This study aimed to determine the Tephritidae fauna of Karaman Province, Türkiye, leading to new faunistic data for the genus Xyphosia. The study presents the first record of Xyphosia laticauda (Meigen, 1826) in Türkiye. Photographs of the examined specimen, updated host plant relationships, and distribution data are provided.
