Distribution. Venezuela, Brazil (new record).

Remarks. Four Calycomyza species are leaf miners of Hyptis : Calycomyza arcuata , Calycomyza hyptidis Spencer , Calycomyza hyptisicola Spencer and Calycomyza menthae Spencer ( Benavent-Corai et al. 2005) . Larvae of C. hyptisicola and C. menthae forming blotch-like mines, but these species are distinguishable by the male genitalia, especially in the form of aedeagus.
