Host records. Agromyza frontella (Rondani, 1875) , A. nana Meigen, 1830 , Chromatomyza horticola ( Goureau, 1851) , C. syngenesiae Hardy, 1849 , Liriomyza balcanica (Strobl, 1900) , L. centaureae Hering 1927 , L. trifolii (Burgess in Comstock, 1880) ( Diptera : Agromyziidae), Formica (Formica) rufa L., 1761 ( Hymenoptera : Formicidae ) ( Yu et al. 2012).
