Liriomyza philadelphivora
Liriomyza philadelphivora is a leaf-mining fly in the family Agromyzidae, described by Spencer in 1969. The specific epithet "philadelphivora" indicates an association with mock orange (Philadelphus) as a host plant. Like other members of the genus Liriomyza, this species produces larvae that feed internally within leaf tissue, creating characteristic mines. The species has been recorded from Vermont and other parts of the United States.
