Entomol. 107(5): 1959Ð1964 (2014); DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1603/EC13279 ABSTRACT Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) is a highly destructive invasive leafminer pest currently causing extensive damage to vegetable and horticultural crops around the world. Liriomyza langei Frick is a leafminer pest native to California that cannot currently be morphologically distin- guished from L. huidobrensis. We used a DNA-barcoding approach, a published PCR-RFLP method, and a new multiplex PCR method to analyze 664 ßies matching the morphological description of huidobrensisÐlangei. We found no evidence for the presence of L. huidobrensis in our extensive samples from California. In addition to the new molecular method, this work is important because it provides deÞnitive data that the California “pea leafminer” is currently, and has probably always been, L. langei. These data will also be important in the event that the highly invasive L.

Bronson, Commissioner of Agriculture California Pea Leafminer, Liriomyza langei (Diptera: Agromyzidae) Gary J. Steck, [email protected], Taxonomic Entomologist, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry W. N. Dixon, [email protected], Bureau Chief, Entomology, Nematology and Plant Pathology, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry Liriomyza langei Frick is a dipteran (Agromyzidae) leaf miner (Fig. 1) that is considered a pest of economic importance in California. (http://www.doacs.state.fl.us/pi/enpp/ento/entcirc/ent378.pdf). Affected crops include field and glasshouse- grown vegetables and flowers. In Salinas Valley of Monterey Co., CA, “This insect has gone from a sporadic fall pest, relatively easily controlled, to a pest throughout most of the vegetable growing season that is essentially not able to be controlled in many crops. This is at least partly due to evolution of insecticide resistance; changes in tillage practices may also have contributed to the problem. Lettuce is the worst affected crop, but nearly all of the fresh vegetables grown in the area are hosts for this leafminer” (Chaney 1995). Other vegetable crops suffering severe economic loss include celery (Apium graveolens) and garden pea (Pisum sativum); floral crops include baby’s breath (Gypsophila paniculata), Chrsysanthemum, and Aster. BIOLOGY: Females puncture leaves to feed on plant sap and lay eggs within the leaf tissues. The eggs hatch after two to four days and larvae feed between the upper and lower surface of the leaves, making distinctive winding, whitish tunnels or mines that are often the first clue that leaf miners are present.

Abstract In Iraq, the leafminer, is one of the most destructive pests of vegetables. Vegetable crops, such as squash Curcurbita pepo L. and tomatoes Solanum lycopersicum L were surveyed to record abundance and diversity of agromyzid leafminers and their natural enemy species. Population density of these pests were studied for the period from April to June 2014 in the College of Agriculture, University of Baghdad- Abu Ghraib. Two leafminers were detected, including Liriomyza bryoniae (Kaltenbach) on squash crop and Phytomyza horticola Gaureue on tomato crop. The results revealed that infestation by Leafminer, L. bryoniae and P. horticola were initiated on leaves situated on the median level of squash and tomato plants, then on leaves of lower level. Because, adults don’t tend to lay eggs on young leaves so that reflected on larval density on these leaves. The rate of larvae numbers of tested insect through the growth season showed that squash's and tomato's leaves of median level were more preferred for leafminer's larvae through the growth season.

    Importation of Fresh Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), Shelled or in Pods, from Jordan into the Continental United States A Qualitative, Pathway-Initiated Risk Assessment February 14, 2011 Version 2 Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Protection and Quarantine 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Pest Risk Assessment for Beans from Jordan Executive Summary In this risk assessment we examined the risks associated with the importation of fresh beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), in pods (French, green, snap, and string beans) or shelled, from the Kingdom of Jordan into the continental United States. We developed a list of pests associated with beans (in any country) that occur in Jordan on any host based on scientific literature, previous commodity risk assessments, records of intercepted pests at ports-of-entry, and information from experts on bean production. This is a qualitative risk assessment, as we express estimates of risk in descriptive terms (High, Medium, and Low) rather than numerically in probabilities or frequencies. We identified seven quarantine pests likely to follow the pathway of introduction. We estimated Consequences of Introduction by assessing five elements that reflect the biology and ecology of the pests: climate-host interaction, host range, dispersal potential, economic impact, and environmental impact. We estimated Likelihood of Introduction values by considering both the quantity of the commodity imported annually and the potential for pest introduction and establishment. We summed the Consequences of Introduction and Likelihood of Introduction values to estimate overall Pest Risk Potentials, which describe risk in the absence of mitigation.

VERMA Department of Entomology and Apiculture, Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP) India 173 230 * Corresponding author E mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The species diversity of parasitoids of the serpentine leaf miner, Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) in tomato ecosystem was conducted under mid hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh during 2008-2010. The tomato leaves were collected periodically from June to September from three strata i.e. bottom, middle and top portion of the plants at random. During the course of study four species of larval parasitoids viz., Neochrysocharis formosa (Westwood), Diglyphus sp., Asecodes sp. and Chrysocharis sp. belonging to the family Eulophidae and one species of larval-pupal parasitoid, Opius sp. belonging to the family Braconidae were identified. These parasitoids were active throughout the cropping season and the parasitization ranged from 6.0 – 21.1, 19.4 – 28.6 and 13.6 – 23.1 per cent during 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. It was maximum (20.1 – 28.6%) during the month of August. Marginally higher parasitization (14.3 – 26.7%) was observed in the middle stratum of the foliage than in top (11.1 – 24.0%) or bottom (6.7 – 20.0%) stratum during all the three years of study.

  • Request for Comments on Regulatory Options for Pea Leaf Miner
    FOR INFORMATION AND ACTION DA-2008-76 December 19, 2008 SUBJECT: Request for Comments on Regulatory Options for Pea Leaf Miner TO: STATE AND TERRITORY AGRICULTURAL REGULATORY OFFICIALS The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is soliciting your comments to help us determine options for the continued regulation of Liriomyza huidobrensis, commonly known as pea leaf miner. Pea leaf miner is an exotic, highly polyphagous leaf miner capable of inflicting severe damage to crops such as field- and glasshouse-grown vegetables and flowers. Pea leaf miner is a mining fly of the insect family Agromyzidae. Pea leaf miner can be found in Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania. This fly was also considered to be present in the States of California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington. However, there is now evidence that the fly in the United States previously believed to be pea leaf miner is not Liriomyza huidobrensis. Research has identified the fly present in the United States as Liriomyza langei. The fly was differentiated by molecular diagnosis from pea leaf miner but is morphologically almost identical. This research is summarized in the attached Center for Plant Health Science and Technology (CPHST) report entitled, “Is Liriomyza langei a real species or a biotype of L. huidobrensis?”. For regulatory purposes, APHIS believes that pea leaf miner and L. langei can be considered different species and distinct taxa. However, we recognize that we should not regulate one fly and not the other without scientific evidence indicating biological differences affecting pest character between species so taxonomically similar.
