Visual Description
Amauromyza labiatarum is a small fly characteristic of the family Agromyzidae. Based on observations of museum specimens, the species exhibits a generally dark, often blackish, body coloration typical of many agromyzids. The wings are clear and membranous, with characteristic venation patterns consistent with the family. The head and thorax are compact, and the overall body form is robust for its size, typical of leaf-mining flies [1].
Biology and Ecology
Amauromyza labiatarum (Hendel, 1920) is a species of mining fly within the family Agromyzidae [2]. It has an East Palearctic distribution and is widely distributed throughout Europe [3].
The larvae of this species are leaf miners that feed on various plants in the family Lamiaceae (formerly Labiatae). Host plants include species in the genera Ajuga, Ballota, Galeopsis, Glechoma, Lallemantia, Lamium, Lycopus, Marrubium, Melittis, Mentha, Prunella, Satureja, Scutellaria, Stachys, and Teucrium [3].
