Abstract

Rearing data for 12 species of the subfamily Agromyzinae and 57 species of Phytomyzinae is presented in detail from material collected during the last 11 years, mainly in Ukraine. Figures of cephalopharyngeal skeletons, heads, female terminalia, male terminalia (where necessary) and photos of host plants with mines and posterior spiracles of puparia are provided. Seven new species are described from specimens reared from Monocotyledons (Carex) and Dicotyledons (Achillea, Stachys, Tropaeolum, Torilis): Melanagromyza achilleacaulis spec. nov., Ophiomyia foliaphila spec. nov., Amauromyza (Amauromyza) stachysi spec. nov., Cerodontha (Butomomyza) gibbifera spec. nov., C. (B.) hreblensis spec. nov., Liriomyza tropaeoli spec. nov., Phytomyza torilisi spec. nov. New host plants were revealed for Agromyza albipennis, A. hendeli, Ophiomyia versera, Amauromyza carlinae, A. leonuri, Cerodontha (Poemyza) lateralis, C. (P.) melica, C. (P.) spencerae, Chromatomyia horticola, Liriomyza heringi, L. hieracii, L. pusilla, L. tragopogonis, Phytomyza hellebori, P. medicaginis, P. obscura and P. origani. Forty-seven species are newly recorded for Ukraine.
