Phytomyza chaerophylli is a species of leaf mining fly in the family Agromyzidae which is found in Europe. [8]
The larvae make a short upper-surface gallery following a leaf margin which widens, so that within the confined limits of some umbelliferous leaves often forms a secondary blotch. The frass is in two untidy rows of isolated grains. Larvae leave the leaf through a semi-circular slit in the lower epidermis to pupate in the soil. [9] [10] Plant species which the fly larvae feed on include Sison amomum. [11]
Mines and larvae can be found throughout the winter, the first generation from April to July although larvae can be found feeding through most of the year. [10]
Widespread and common throughout much of Europe. [10]

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.
