Siles. Sci. Natur., 67: 7-57, 2018. Abstract: New records of 110 species of the acalyptrate Diptera family Agromyzidae are given from Portugal, including Madeira, Porto Santo and the Azores. A quarantine plant pest, Nemorimyza maculosa (Malloch, 1913), was detected in the Old World for the first time. Details on Phytobia xylem- miners and a parthenogenetic Phytomyza species are recorded together with new distribution data. For certain species morphological and taxonomic notes and discussions on known or new host plants are added. A complete checklist of Agromyzidae of Portugal is presented. Key words: Diptera, Agromyzidae, new records, new host plants, distribution, biology, partheno- genesis, quarantine species, checklist, Argentina, Azores, Canary Islands, Chile, Italy, Madeira, Portuguese mainland, Sahara, Turkey. Introduction The Agromyzidae belong to families of Diptera Acalyptratae hitherto insufficiently studied on the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. The first concrete records on leaf miner flies from Portugal were published by Tavares (1901) including the description of the new species Agromyza kiefferi Tavares, 1901 from the locality "Castello Branco ate a Covilhan". The first records on the fauna of Agromyzidae from Madeira are by Buhr (1908). Our knowledge of the Agromyzidae of the Portuguese mainland has in the past firstly been based on brief articles by Buhr (1941), Godinho et al.
