Japanagromyza duchesneae (Sasakawa)

Agromyza duchesneae Sasakawa, 1954b: 106 .

Japanagromyza duchesneae: Sasakawa, 1958: 139 .

Remarks. This is a leafminer of Duchesnea indica Focke (Rosaceae) and also of Potentilla sp. The male and female genitalia of this species are very similar to those of Japanagromyza tristella ( Sasakawa 1961: Figs. 17 and 20 ). But, these two species belong to the different species-group by color of the halter and shape of the larval posterior spiracle as noted in the key.
