Description The American serpentine leafminer, Liriamyza tnfalii (Burgess) (Diptera, Agromyzidae) is one of the few polyphagous species of Agromyzidae reported as a cosmopolitan pest of field crops, vegetables, fruit crops, ornamentals and a number of weeds. The larvae feed on leafmesophyll tissues which may cause reduction in crop value or yield (Spencer, 1973). The fly causes severe losses to economically important vegetable crops like tomato, celery, melons, beans, pea, onion, pepper, brinjal, potato, lettuce, carrot, etc. and ornamentals like chrysanthemum, gerbera, gypsophila, marigold, etc. in many parts of the world (Minkenbergand Lenteren, 1986; Minkenberg, 1988; Saito et al., 1996). For cut flower producers in greenhouses, L. tnfalii presents a recurrent problem on chrysanthemum, gerbera, and gypsophila,' etc. (Vrie and Dllkse, 1982). The economic losses caused by L. trifolii in California to the chrysanthemum industry alone were estimated to be 93 million dollars from 1981 to 1985 (Newman and Parrella, 1986).
