This factsheet provides general information on the biology of the asparagus miner and options for its management. Identification Adult asparagus miner flies are shiny black and about 3.5 mm to 5 mm long (see Figure 2). Their eggs are difficult to detect because they are small and translucent, later taking on the color of the asparagus stem. Females lay the eggs under the outer layer of stems. -

Abstract. -The subgenus Poliopterus Wagner of Plagiognathus Fieber is placed in syn- onymy with Europiella Reuter. The identity of Holarctic species is clarified. New com- binations are created because of generic synonymy, species are transferred from other genera, and many names are placed in synonymy. Most species for which hosts are known feed on Artemisia, a few feeding on other Asteraceae such as Chrysothamnus, Helichrysum, and Tanacetum, with two species being recorded from the Lamiaceae. Key Words: Heteroptera, Miridae, Europiella, new species, new synonymy, Holarctic Reuter (1909) used the name Europiella the history of synonymy for the Nearactic for two species of phyline Miridae from fauna, as well as more detailed distributions North America.

In the case of insects, most published DNA barcoding studies focus on species of the Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Hymenoptera and especially Lepidoptera. In this study we test the efficiency of DNA barcoding for true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera), an ecological and economical highly important as well as morphologically diverse insect taxon. As part of our study we analyzed DNA barcodes for 1742 specimens of 457 species, comprising 39 families of the Heteroptera. We found low nucleotide distances with a minimum pairwise K2P distance ,2.2% within 21 species pairs (39 species). For ten of these species pairs (18 species), minimum pairwise distances were zero. In contrast to this, deep intraspecific sequence divergences with maximum pairwise distances .2.2% were detected for 16 traditionally recognized and valid species. With a successful identification rate of 91.5% (418 species) our study emphasizes the use of DNA barcodes for the identification of true bugs and represents an important step in building-up a comprehensive barcode library for true bugs in Germany and Central Europe as well. -

En Minérflue (Ophiomyia Simplex Loew) På Asparges I Danmark
Statens Planteavlsforsøg 1373. beretning Statens plantepatologiske Forsøg (H. Ingv. Petersen) Zoologisk afdeling (Knud Lindhardt) En minérflue (Ophiomyia simplex Loew) på asparges i Danmark The Asparagus Miner (Ophiomyia simplex Loew) in Denmark Stud. lie. agro. Asger Søgaard Jørgensen1) og lie. agro. Bent Bromand2) Resumé Ophiomyia simplex har vist sig flere steder i aspargeskulturer i Danmark. Den blev i september 1975 fundet i 8 undersøgte marker på Lammefjorden samt ved Årslev forsøgsstation. En mindre prøve fra en privat have ved Holstebro var negativ. I gennemsnit indeholdt 61 procent af de undersøgte asparges- stængler fra 1-10 puparier. Tidligere er kun et enkelt eksemplar af denne flue fundet på Langeland i 1964. På basis af litteraturen såvel som af egne undersøgelser og iagttagelser gives en gennemgang af dyrets biologi samt skadevirkning og økonomisk betydning. På trods af det store antal pupper, der fandtes på Lammefjorden, kunne der ikke påvises skade af betydning, og det var ikke muligt at sætte antallet af pupper i forbindelse med gulfarvning af toppen. Nøgleord: Asparges, Asparagus officinalis, Ophiomyia simplex. Summary A survey, mainly based on literature, is given on the Asparagus Miner, Ophiomyia simplex Loew. One female of O. simplex was found in Denmark in 1964 {Spencer, 1976). The present investigation has shown that the species is common at Lammefjorden, Zealand. Besides that it is found at Årslev, Funen. 61 per cent of the investigated asparagus stems contained pupae in September 1975. On basis of the literature as well as of our own observations in cutting beds the Asparagus Miner is causing no damage of economic importance. Consequently no control is required. -

The Parasitoids of the Asparagus Miner (Diptera: Agromyzidae): Field Parasitism and the Influence of Food Resources on Life History
BIOLOGICAL CONTROLÑPARASITOIDS AND PREDATORS The Parasitoids of the Asparagus Miner (Diptera: Agromyzidae): Field Parasitism and the Influence of Food Resources on Life History 1,2 3 4 WILLIAM R. MORRISON, III, GARY A. P. GIBSON, AND ZSOFIA SZENDREI Environ. Entomol. 43(6): 1526Ð1534 (2014); DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1603/EN14103 ABSTRACT The goals of this study were to identify pupal parasitoids of the asparagus miner, Ophiomyia simplex Loew (Diptera: Agromyzidae), and examine the effect of different diets and ßoral resources on the lifespan of adult asparagus miners and their parasitoids. We also measured the effect of parasitism on stem damage caused by the asparagus miner. The identity and abundance of the parasitoids of the asparagus miner were determined in asparagus Þelds in Michigan from weekly asparagus miner pupal collections during the 2010Ð2013 seasons. Twelve species of hymenopterous parasitoids were reared from asparagus miner pupae, including Chore- bus rondanii (Giard) (Ichneumonoidea: Braconidae), 10 species in three families of Chalcidoidea, and one species of Bethylidae (Chrysidoidea), that represent new host records for the asparagus miner. C. rondanii and Thinodytes cephalon (Walker) (Pteromalidae) were the most common parasitoids. The effects of different diets and ßowers on the lifespan of the pest and parasitoid adults were also evaluated. Buckwheat resulted in the shortest life span for the asparagus miner, whereas RiddellÕs goldenrod signiÞcantly increased its lifespan relative to the control. Parasitoid lifespan was doubled when individuals were fed sugar-rich diets. In the Þeld, parasitoids preferred stems that contained more pupae and damage. The two most commonly reared parasitoids should be considered as targets for future conservation biological control efforts of the asparagus miner. -
