Dears,
I have collected this specimen in central Italy (Senigallia) 50 a.s.l. Individuals have emerged from mined spinach and chard.
I do believe belongs to the genus
Liriomyza. Is it possible to get to the species level? I send some pictures (but I can do more of them, if you may suggest me which part is important for the identification).
Thank you.
Best,
Giorgio

In Europe, several species of the genus
Liriomyza, e.g.
L. bryoniae, L. huidobrensis, L. sativae, L. strigata, L. trifolii, feed on host plants of Chenopodiaceae. Their identification is reliable only by studying the male genitalia. If you can send me the flies, I'll be happy to identify them.
