Remarks. This species belongs to one of the largest genera of the family Tephritidae present in the Palaearctic ( Norrbom et al. 1999). Campiglossa producta can be found from Central Asia to the Mediterranean Basin and also in Madeira and Canary Islands ( Merz 1992; Korneyev & Dirlbek 2000; Merz 2001; Smit 2006; El Harym & Belqat, 2017). It is associated with open habitats and its larvae feed on a wide range of Asteraceae ( White 1988; Mohamadzade Namin & Nozari 2015). In Madeira this species is distributed throughout the island and is frequent at high altitudes ( Smit 2006). This species was collected for the first time in Desertas Islands and it was confirmed for Porto Santo, from where new distribution data were obtained.
