Popis: A survey of flowerhead-infesting tephritids on thistles was conducted in Lebanon during 1995–1998. Twenty thistle species belonging to the Asteraceae yielded 18 species of tephritids. Out of the 18 reared tephritids, 15 are reported for the first time to occur in Lebanon. Seventeen new host species and 11 new host genera for those tephritids are also reported for the first time.
