Popis: New distributional data are provided for four species of the genus Tephritis Latreille, 1804, Sphenella marginata (Fallén, 1814) and Ensina sonchi (Linnaeus, 1767) (Diptera: Tephritidae). Tephritis separata Rondani, 1871 and T. mutabilis Merz, 1992 are recorded for the first time from Armenia and Transcaucasia, T. anthrax S. Korneyev et Evstigneev, 2019, from North Ossetia, and T. valida (Loew, 1858), from North Ossetia and Kabardino-Balkaria. Host plants are recorded for the larvae of each species, with Leontodon asperrimus (Willd.) Endl. being recorded for the first time as a host plant of T. mutabilis, and Caucasalia macrophylla (M. Bieb.) B. Nord. (= Senecio platyphyllus DC.) and Senecio kolenatianus C.A. Mey., as host plants of S. marginata. The morphological details of all six species of flies are illustrated in colour photos.
