Oxyna parietina is a fly from the family of bored flies (Tephritidae).
features
The flies reach a body length of 4 to 4.5 millimeters. The thorax is dusted yellow-gray, behind the suture there are some dorsocentral bristles. The abdomen is grayishly pollinated and, like the thorax, is briefly covered in light yellow hair. The legs are yellow. The forehead is very broad and arched, the cheeks are just as broad and the edge of the mouth protrudes. There is only a pair of orbital bristles in the front. The third part of the antennae is only slightly longer than it is wide. The net-like patterned wings are darkly tinted, basal light yellowish in color. They have whitish spots.
Occurrence and way of life
The animals are found in Europe. The larvae develop in small groups in the stems of Artemisia . The plants develop deformities due to the feeding. The adults can be found in June on wasteland and on the edge of paths.
