Abstract
Tephritis ruralis (Loew, 1844) and T. sahandi Mohamadzade, Korneyev et Khaghaninia, 2011 are recorded from Armenia for the first time. The morphological details of five species of Tephritis Latreille, 1804 [T. araileri Evstigneev, 2020, T. conaraileri Evstigneev, 2020, T. ruralis, T. sahandi, and T. truncata (Loew, 1844)] are illustrated in colour photos. It is shown that some Armenian specimens of T. ruralis have two hyaline spots in the pterostigma (as does T. truncata), unlike the European specimens of T. ruralis. The glans of the phallus of T. truncata is illustrated for the first time. Scorzonera rigida Auch. ex DC. is recorded for the first time as a host plant of T. araileri.
