Abstract

        Tephritis Latreille, 1804 is one of the largest genera of Tephritini (Diptera: Tephritidae), which includes about 190 described species. Forty species of this genus have been recorded up to date from Turkey. In the summer 2018, a previously undescribed species of Tephritis was collected by sweeping from Scorzonorea tomentosa L. (Asteraceae: Cichorieae), in Erzurum Province of Turkey, described herein as Tephritis turkeri sp. nov. Also, other Tephritid species Tephritis zernyi Hendel, 1927 is recorded for the first time from Turkey. Material is kept in the collection of Gaziantep University Entomology Laboratory.
