Liriomyza pul lo ides Spencer, new 
species 
(Figs. 742, 743) 
Head. Frons at least 1.5 times width 
of eye, slightly projecting above eye 
in profile; 2 ors, 2 ori, upper ors 
reclinate, lower 2 ori incurved, 
orbital setulae sparse, reclinate; 
gena extended at rear, 0.4 height of 
eye; 3d antennal segment small, round, 
arista short. 
Mesonotum. 3+1 dc, with several 
smaller setulae in same line beyond 
presutural, acr irregularly in 4 rows. 
Wing. Length 1.6 mm, last section of 
vein M 3+4 twice length of penultimate. 
Color. Frons yellowish orange, orbit 
more yellow, antenna, gena, face, and 
palpus yellow; hindmargin of eye dark, 
both vt on dark ground; mesonotum 
entirely matt black; humerus and 
notopleruon dull yellow, pleura 
otherwise black, upper margin of 
mesopleuron only faintly yellowish; 
legs largely black, though femora 
distinctly yellowish at knees and 
slightly so below in male; abdomen 
matt black, tergites only narrowly 
yellow bordered; in female ovipositor 
sheath shining black; squama yellowish 
gray, margin and fringe dark. 
Male genitalia. Aedeagus as in 
figures 742, 743, distiphallus with 
distinctive dorsally directed 
membranous tubules; sperm pump with 
narrow stalk and large, dark blade; 
surstylus narrow, elongate, with stout 
spine at end. 
Host/early stages. Unknown. 
Holotype m. , Colorado, Larimer Co., 
Estes Park, 7,500 ft, 14. VIII. 61; 
paratype f . , same data; (both B. H. 
Poole), in CNC. 
Remarks. The yellow frons and antenna, 
combined with the dark legs and meso- 
pleuron and the matt mesonotum, make 
this a distinctive species. The aedea- 
gus is distinct from any related 
species. 
Liriomyza sativae Blanchard 
(Figs. 777-784) 
Liriomyza sativae Blanchard, 1938: 
354. Holotype female ex Medicago 
sativa from Argentina in Museo de la 
Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. 
Liriomyza verbenicola Hering, 1951a: 
43. NEW SYNONYMY. Holotype female 
ex Verbena sp. from New Mexico in 
ZMHU. 
Liriomyza pullata Frick, 1952b: 509. 
Holotype female ex Datura sp. from 
Hawaii in CAS (synonymy established 
by Spencer, 1973a: 219). 
Liriomyza canomarginis Frick, 1952b: 
511. Holotype female ex Indigofera 
sp. from Hawaii in CAS (synonymy 
established by Spencer, 1973a: 219). 
Liriomyza minutiseta Frick, 1952b: 512. 
Holotype female ex tomato from 
Hawaii in CAS (synonymy established 
by Spencer, 1973a). 
Liriomyza propepusilla Frost, 1954: 
73. Holotype male from Kansas in 
USNM (synonymy established by 
Steyskal , 1973b: 735). 
Liriomyza munda Frick, 1957a: 61. 
Holotype male ex tomato from 
San Joaquin County, Calif., in CAS 
(synonymy established by Spencer, 
1973a: 219). 
Liriomyza guytona Freeman, 1958: 344. 
Holotype male ex "beans" from Alabama 
in USNM (synonymy established by 
Spencer, 1973a: 219; synonymy of L. 
guytona with L. munda established by 
Steyskal, 1964: 116). 
This highly polyphagous species is 
widely distributed in the Southern 
States, and its range extends south to 
Argentina and Chile. As is inevitable 
in such cases, it has been described 
with different names by various 
authors from different hosts on 
several occasions. In view of the 
economic importance of L. sativae (see 
Spencer, 1973a), the full synonymy is 
given here. 
L. verbenicola was described from 
three females reared from upper 
surface linear mines on Verbena at Las 
Cruces, N. Mex. One of the female 
paratypes in the USNM has been
