This series was set up by the Expert-Center for Taxonomic Identification (ETI) of the University of Amsterdam on an initiative of UNESCO. Its aim is to provide scientists, students, and other interested parties with easily accessible, high-quality taxonomic and ecological information on the world’s biological diversity.Arthropods of Economic Importance
The Agromyzidae (mining flies) are a highly diverse dipteran family of exclusively phytophagous species. The world fauna consists of about 2,750 species. Of these, some 110 species are known to occur on cultivated crops. A number of species are of particular importance, especially Liriomyza and Ophiomya. This CD-ROM aims to improve the management of pest-agromyzidae by providing access to taxonomic and biological data. In addition to literature reviews, numerous new digital images are presented. A matrix key contains the characters of 114 species. In order to provide information for those readers unfamiliar with this group, the morphology, biology and techniques for collecting and handling of Agromyzidae are outlined.
