Melanagromyza hieracii
Melanagromyza hieracii is a species of leaf-mining fly in the family Agromyzidae, described by Eiseman & Lonsdale in 2021. The species is part of a genus containing numerous species associated with herbaceous plants, particularly in the Asteraceae family. As a recently described taxon, detailed biological information remains limited. The specific epithet 'hieracii' suggests an association with Hieracium (hawkweeds), a pattern consistent with related species in the genus.
