Hi Barry, thanks for the confirmation - much appreciated!

The BRC Database doesn't seem to list Chromatomyia horticola (as Phytomyza) and Liriomyza strigata even for other species of Silene than dioica, but does list both for Caryophyllaceae spp. so your listing does seem to be more precise/detailed. Good to know |t

Thanks for making a point of including the subgenus name as well, always good to have that with it in case the taxonomic status might change to full genus at some point.

On another note: I noticed the species (or even genus) does not seem to have any images in the gallery here on diptera.info, but I don't readily see a link to add images or offer any for addition. All my images are Public Domain (or Creative Commons Zero if you will), so if anyone cares to use/add them, feel free to do so - no author name needed.
Edit: Duh: never mind that - found the link!

Thanks again for the help!

Cheers, Arp
