The mining flies are a highly diverse dipteran family of exclusively phytophagous species. The world fauna consists of about 2,750 species. Of these, some 110 species are known to occur on cultivated plants. A number of species are of particular importance, especially Liriomyza and Ophiomyia species. This CD-ROM aims to improve the management of pest-agromyzids by providing access to taxonomic and biological data. In addition to literature reviews, numerous new digital images are presented. A matrix key contains the characters of 114 species and outlines the morphology, biology and techniques for collecting and handling of Agromyzidae. This CD-ROM aims to enable entomologists working in agriculture, horticulture and plant quarantine inspection to identify the most important species.
