Contributions to the leafminer fauna (Diptera : Agromyzidae) from Turkey, with four new records

Abstract

In a study carried out during 2002 and 2004 in Diyarbakiir and Mardin provinces, southeast Turkey, specimens were collected twice a month from cultivated and non-cultivated plants. Sixteen leafminer (Diptera: Agromyzidae) species were identified. Among them, Agromyza abiens Zetterstedt, 1848; Napomyza elegans (Meigen, 1830); Phytoliriomyza dorsata (Siebke, 1864); and Phytomyza aquilonia Frey, 1964 are new records for the Turkish leafminer.
