Phytoliriomyza nigrifrons (Hendel, 1920), Agromyzidae. "Barry's" identification is correct. A rare species described from Croatia, known from the Canary Islands, Azores, and UK. One of the few Agromyzidae with distinct sexual colour dimorphism as first time to be seen on the photo. Slightly elongate shape of 3rd antennal segment is typical for many Phytoliriomyza spp. Scutum (=mesonotum) black until edge of scutellum. Male genitalia are not yet figured as males are absent in collections. Further link: https://www.galerie-insecte.org/galerie/view.php?ref=333439 .
