Aulagromyza cornigera is a species of leaf-mining fly in the family Agromyzidae. The larvae of this fly mine the leaves of plant species of the Lonicera (honeysuckle) and Symphoricarpos genera within the honeysuckle family. Mines potentially from this species have also been found on Triosteum perfoliatum.[2]

Description

[edit]

Larvae of this species form white or greenish-white linear mines with black alternating lumps of frass on the upper surface of leaves. The species is univoltine, with larvae found as early as late March and as late as early June.[2]
