Phytomyza horticola is a species of leaf-mining fly in the family Agromyzidae of the order Diptera. For a time it was treated as Chromatomyia horticola, but its original name has been restored after genus Chromatomyia was synonymized with Phytomyza.[10] The species is a pest of high economic importance affecting the vegetable crops in temperate and tropical regions.[11][12]

Habitat and distribution[edit]

Phytomyza horticola is recorded in around 268 genera of 36 families, commonly Brassicaceae, Fabaceae and Asteraceae. The polyphagous pest is distributed in various regions of Africa, Asia, and Europe.[13]
