Genus Agromyza Fallén

This genus is well represented in the Palaearctic region. Only four species, Agromyza latipennis Malloch, A. oryzae (Munakata), A. panici Meijere and A. phragmitidis Hendel , have hitherto been known to occur in Thailand (Sasakawa 1981; Spencer 1961a, 1986). The occurrence of three more species, A. comosa Spencer, A. flavisquama Malloch and A. pennisetivora Spencer , are recorded below for the first time.

Agromyza flavisquama , A. latipennis , A. oryzae , A. panici , A. pennisetivora and A. phragmitidis are known as leafminers of the Poaceae (Gramineae) . The male genitalia of A. comosa , figured in Sasakawa (1972: fig. 1) and Spencer (1962a: fig. 26), are characteristic of these grass-miners.
