Liriomyza lathyri
Liriomyza lathyri is a species of leafminer fly in the family Agromyzidae, described by Sehgal in 1971. It belongs to a genus containing numerous economically important agricultural pests, though specific information about this particular species remains sparse. The species name suggests an association with Lathyrus (pea/vetch plants), but direct host records have not been documented in the available literature. Like other Liriomyza species, it likely has a holometabolous life cycle with larval stages that feed internally in leaf tissue.
