Phytoliriomyza pulchella
Phytoliriomyza pulchella is a species of leaf-mining fly in the family Agromyzidae, described by Spencer in 1986. The genus Phytoliriomyza contains fern-feeding specialists, and this species is part of a group of agromyzid flies whose larvae create distinctive mines in fern fronds. Very little published information exists specifically for P. pulchella, though its congeners are well-documented as fern miners.
