Description

(Figs 109 View Figures 107–115 , 110 View Figures 107–115 ). Wing length 1.3-1.6 mm (♂), 1.4-1.8 mm (♀). Length of ultimate section of vein M4 divided by penultimate section: 1.6-4.0. Eye height divided by gena height: 4.4-5.8. Scutum shiny to subshiny.

Chaetotaxy: Two ori (anterior seta sometimes reduced to absent), sometimes three; two ors. Acrostichal setulae in four irregular rows.

Colouration: Posterolateral corner of frons brown, usually fading to yellow at base of outer or inner vertical seta; few western specimens with narrow brown margin along fronto-orbital plate tapering to anterior ori; back of head above foramen, ocellar tubercle and clypeus brown; venter of gena with narrow brownish stripe that sometimes fades posteriorly; anterior margin of first flagellomere rarely appearing lightly infuscated. Scutum with complete lateral yellow stripe, sometimes with brown mottling posteriorly. Scutellum yellow with lateral corner dark brown. Katatergite sometimes with posterior margin to posterior 1/2 brown; anatergite brown; mediotergite dark brown. Pleuron yellow with ventral 2/3 of katepisternum, meron, small spot(s) on anepimeron and anteroventral corner of anepisternum brown; anepisternum sometimes predominantly brown along ventral margin; specimens from western North America sometimes darker with only dorsal 1/4 of anepisternum (as well as deep posterodorsal emargination), meron and katepisternum yellow; if only dorsal margin of anepisternum narrowly yellow (rare), lateral margin of frons infuscated, femora more extensively mottled dorsally or only yellow apically and distoventrally, lateral margin of scutum sometimes brownish postsuturally, metanotum darker and abdominal tergites entirely brown. Calypter margin grey. Legs yellow with tibiae, tarsi and bases of coxae light brown; bases or dorsal bases of hind and (less commonly) mid femora sometimes brown (if so, base of fore femur occasionally also brown); fore femur, and much less commonly mid and hind femora sometimes with outer-dorsal striations. Abdomen brown with lateral and sometimes posterior margins yellow (sometimes widely on tergite 5); epandrium dark with dorsum and perianal region usually yellowish.

Genitalia: (Figs 621-625 View Figures 621–625 ) Epandrium with one posterodistal spine. Surstylus lobate with one apical spine. Phallophorus well-developed with high dorsum. Basiphallus sclerotised along most of left-lateral and dorsomedial surfaces, leaving distal section of duct exposed. Hypophallus linear, narrow, with several apical hairs. Paraphallus small, linear. Mesophallus separate from distiphallus, small, narrow, subcylindrical with slight ventral carina along suture. Distiphallus simple, cup-like, narrowed basally; with apical, basal, and ventral surfaces more well-sclerotised, forming weak C-shape in profile. Ejaculatory apodeme pale and with base of blade and stem relatively dark and narrow, sometimes broader apically with corners more pointed.

Hosts.

Host genera of the polyphagous L. sativae are discussed in Lonsdale (2011); Rafinesquia ( Asteraceae ) and Astragalus ( Fabaceae ) added by Eiseman and Lonsdale (2018).

Distribution.

Canada: ON (likely to be widespread in southern Canada and in greenhouses, although the cold climate will likely prevent it from ever becoming a serious pest on outdoor crops). USA: TX to CA, CO and SC, and further north in greenhouses (OH, MD, PA). Neotropics. Introduced globally throughout growing regions.
