Liriomyza commelinae is a species of fly in the family Agromyzidae. [3]
The Agromyzidae are a family of flies, commonly referred to as the leaf-miner flies for the feeding habits of their larvae, most of which are leaf miners on various plants. It includes roughly 2,500 species, they are small, some with wing length of 1 mm. The maximum size is 6.5 mm. Most species are in the range of 2 to 3 mm.
The Chamaemyiidae are a small family of acalyptrate flies with less than 200 species described worldwide. The larvae of these small flies are active and predatory and are often used for biological control of aphids, scale insects, and similar pests. Chamaemyiid fossils are poorly represented in amber deposits, but a few examples are known from the Eocene epoch onwards.
The serpentine leaf miner is the larva of a fly, Liriomyza brassicae, in the family Agromyzidae, the leaf miner flies. It mines wild and cultivated plants, such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and Chinese broccoli.
The asparagus miner is a specialist insect that lives on asparagus plants and is a problem for asparagus growers. It is shiny black and occurs in most major asparagus-producing regions of the world.
Phytomyza horticola is a species of leaf-mining fly in the family Agromyzidae of the order Diptera. For a time it was treated as Chromatomyia horticola, but its original name has been restored after genus Chromatomyia was synonymized with Phytomyza. The species is a pest of high economic importance affecting the vegetable crops in temperate and tropical regions.
Ophiomyia is a genus of flies in the family Agromyzidae.
Agromyza nigripes is a species of fly in the family Agromyzidae. It is found in the Palearctic. The body is black. The thorax and abdomen are shiny. There are 1 + 4 dorsocentral bristles and 7 rows of acrostical bristles. The wing veins are brown, yellow at the base. Long. : 2–3,5 mm. The larva makes serpentine mines in Medicago sativa leaves.
Nemorimyza posticata is a species of fly in the family Agromyzidae. It is found in the Palearctic.
Agromyza nana is a species of fly in the family Agromyzidae. It is found in the Palearctic. Description of imago-Interocular space red. Antennomeres 1 and II red. Peristoma and palps black. Dorsocentral bristles : 1 +3 subequal; acrostics in four rows. Legs black, knees red. Abdomen black with lighter pruinosity than the thorax. Long.:1,75-2,5 mm. The larva mines Trifolium pratense, Melilotus altissima, Medicago.
Liriomyza sativae, commonly known as the vegetable leaf miner, is a species of insect, a fly in the family Agromyzidae. The larvae of this fly mine the leaves of a range of vegetables and weeds, but seem to favour plants in the families Cucurbitaceae, Fabaceae and Solanaceae.
Phytomyza is a genus of leaf miner flies in the family Agromyzidae. At least 170 described species are placed in Phytomyza. The type species is Phytomyza flaveola, described by Carl Fallén in 1810.
