Calycomyza hyptidis
Calycomyza hyptidis is a leaf-mining fly in the family Agromyzidae, first described by Spencer in 1966. The species name references its original association with Hyptis species. It has been documented as a pest of cultivated aromatic herbs, specifically reported on basil (Ocimum basilicum) in Mexico and spearmint (Mentha spicata).
