Tephritis conura is a species of fly in the family Tephritidae , the gall flies. It is found in the Palearctic .^[2]^[3]^[4] The larvae feed on Cirsium heterophyllum and Cirsium oleraceum.^[5]

The species has been studied due to the presence of host races specializing on feeding on either of the thistle species C. heterophyllum or C. oleraceum.^[6] This is a possible example of an early stage of ecological speciation.

Distribution

United Kingdom & Scandinavia, South and East to Italy, Bulgaria & Caucasus.
