Pegomya atlanis is a species of root-maggot fly (insects in the family Anthomyiidae). [1] [2] [3] [4] It feeds on Chenopodium album as a leaf miner. [5]
Calyptratae is a subsection of Schizophora in the insect order Diptera, commonly referred to as the calyptrate muscoids. It consists of those flies which possess a calypter that covers the halteres, among which are some of the most familiar of all flies, such as the house fly.
The Anthomyiidae are a large and diverse family of Muscoidea flies. Most look rather like small houseflies. Most species are drab grey to black. Many Pegomya are yellow, and some members of the genera Anthomyia and Eutrichota are patterned in black-and-white or black-and-silvery-grey. Most are difficult to identify, apart from a few groups such as the kelp flies that are conspicuous on beaches.
Pegomya is a genus of flies within the family Anthomyiidae. Some species are considered pests due to their leafmining larvae. Species include:
Pegomya geniculata is a species of fly in the family Anthomyiidae. It has been recorded in the United States, Ireland, and Switzerland. The insect is fungivorous, and uses the fruit bodies of several mushroom species to breed, such as Verpa bohemica.
Pegomya winthemi is a species of fly in the family Anthomyiidae. Found in North America, it was first described as Anthomyia winthemi in 1829 by Johann Wilhelm Meigen. The insect measures 4.25–5 mm long. Its pedipalps are infuscated apically; the anterior lateral angles of the thorax and scutellum are yellowish red. The longest hairs of the arista are a little longer than its basal diameter, while the lower calyptra are distinctly protruded. The scutellum is almost bare on the disc. The posthumeral bristle is not duplicated, and the area between the posthumeral and the margin of thorax is almost bare.
Pegomya betae is a species of fly in the family Anthomyiidae. It is found in the Palearctic. For identification see
Pegomya bicolor is a species of fly in the family Anthomyiidae. It is found in the Palearctic. For identification see Host plants include Persicaria virginiana, Rumex acetosa, Rumex acetosella, Rumex conglomeratus, Rumex crispus, and Rumex obtusifolius.
Pegomya rubivora is a species of fly in the family Anthomyiidae. It is found in the Palearctic. For identification see
Pegomya solennis is a species of fly in the family Anthomyiidae. It is found in the Palearctic. For identification see
Neochirosia nuda is a species of dung fly in the family Scathophagidae. It is a univoltine leaf miner of Maianthemum canadense and Polygonatum pubescens.
Pegomya carduorum is a species of root-maggot flies.
Pegomya rufescens is a species of root-maggot flies.
Pegomya depressiventris is a species of root-maggot fly.
Pegomya flavifrons is a species of root-maggot fly.
Eutrichota spinosissima is a species of root-maggot flies in the family Anthomyiidae.
Pegomya pseudobicolor is a species of root-maggot fly.
Chirosia filicis is a species of root-maggot flies in the family Anthomyiidae.
Chirosia pusillans is a species of root-maggot flies in the family Anthomyiidae. It is known to lay its eggs on Athyrium asplenioides.
Parallelomma vittatum is a species of dung fly. Larvae are leaf miners of numerous plants, including Maianthemum dilatatum, Polygonatum pubescens, Trillium undulatum, Cypripedium acaule, Cypripedium reginae, and others. They are active from May through October, and can have two generations in a single year.
Chirosia gleniensis is a species of root-maggot flies in the family Anthomyiidae. It is a leaf miner of Onoclea sensibilis.
