Genus Phytoliriomyza Hendel 
Liriomyza ( Phytoliriomyza ) Hendel, 
1931: 203. Type of subgenus: 
Agromyza perpusilla Meigen, 1830 
(Europe); as genus, Frey, 1941: 19. 
Pteridomyza Nowakowski , 1962: 97. 
Type of genus : Agromyza hilarella 
Zetterstedt, 1848 ( synonymy estab- 
lished by Tschirnhaus, 1971). 
Lemurimyza Spencer, 1965b: 26. Type of 
genus: Liriomyza enormis Spencer, 
1963b (Madagascar) (synonymy estab- 
lished by Tschirnhaus, 1971). 
Hendel (1931) first noted the forward 
inclination of the orbital setulae in 
Phytoliriomyza arctica in Europe and 
included this species in a monotypic 
subgenus of Liriomyza , in which the 
orbital setulae are predominantly 
reclinate. Subsequent authors have 
accepted Phytoliriomyza as a full 
genus, and in its present concept it 
embraces species with a considerable 
range of morphological characters. 
The color is generally pale, yellow 
and gray, but entirely black species
