Materialexamined. Brazil, Pará state, Belém: Parque Zoobotânico do Museu Paraense Emilio Goeldi( MPEG), 1º27′09.9″S, 48º28′35.6″W, 04-II-1993, M.C. Esposito[collector], ex leaf of Stachytarpheta cayennensis( ♂); same location, 04-II-1993, M.C. Esposito[collector], ex leaf of Stachytarpheta cayennensis( 2 ♀); same loca- tion, 20-I-1993, M.C. Esposito [collector], ex leaf of Stachytarpheta cayennensis( 3 ♂).
Comments. Spencer & Stegmaier (1973)suggested that Calycomyza bahamarumis a leaf-miner of plants in the family Verbenaceaedue to the similarity of its male genitalia with those of three other leaf miner species restricted to this plant family, namely: C. duranteSpencer, C. lantanae(Frick), and C. verbenae(Hering). In the present study, C. bahamarumwas observed to form mineson leaves of Stachytarpheta cayennensis,thus confirming its association with the Verbenaceaefamily.
