DF4A87BB0543FFAEC09AF96BCE032C8F.taxon	discussion	Comments. Scorzonera rigida Auch. ex DC. is recorded for the first time as a host plant of T. araileri. Previously, S. latifolia (Fisch. et C. A. Mey.) DC. was recorded as a host plant of this species (Evstigneev, 2020 b). Both host plants grow together near the village of Martiros. Larvae develop in capitula of S. latifolia along with T. conaraileri (see below). Tephritis araileri differs from T. conaraileri in minor details of the wing pattern (small spot in anal lobe in T. araileri and distinct spot in the shape of a ring or semi-ring in T. conaraileri) and the shape of apex of the aculeus (apex of the aculeus with distinct steps in T. araileri and without steps in T. conaraileri). Thus, two species display small differences in wing markings and strong differences in the shape of the female genitalia. The shape of the aculeus is a major distinguishing character between the two species.	en	Evstigneev, D. A., Boyko, N. S.

DF4A87BB0542FFA8C32CFB56CDAC2B53.taxon	discussion	Comments. This species is recorded from Armenia for the first time. Larvae of T. ruralis develop in capitula of the genus Pilosella: P. officinarum F. W. Schultz et Sch. Bip. (as Hieracium pilosella L.) (Hendel, 1927; Mihályi, 1960; White, 1988; Merz, 1994; Baugnée, 2006; Evstigneev, 2016) and P. lactucella (Wallr.) P. D. Sell et C. West (as Hieracium lactucella Wallr.) (Merz, 1994). Some Armenian specimens of T. ruralis have two hyaline spots in the pterostigma (Fig. 16), as does T. truncata (Loew, 1844) (see below). The specimens of T. ruralis from European Russia (Ul’yanovsk Province) display a classic wing pattern (Figs 13, 15).	en	Evstigneev, D. A., Boyko, N. S.
