TYPE SPECIES . — Agromyza duchesneae Sasakawa, 1954 . REMARKS A total of 12 female specimens belonging to the genus Japanagromyza were collected on the Mitaraka massif, representing four morphospecies ( Boucher & Pollet 2021 ) ( Fig. 8 A-D). All these species have a metallic sheen characteristic of the genus. However, most of the Mitaraka Japanagromyza species ( Japanagromyza MIT-2; J . Mit-3 and J . Mit-4) lack the prsc normally present in this genus. Out of the 35 species of Japanagromyza recorded in the Neotropical region, (treating J. iridescens (Frost, 1936) and J. inaequalis (Malloch, 1914) as two distinct species [ Spencer & Stegmaier 1973 ]), only five species ( J. aldrichi (Frick, 1952) ; J. lonchocarpi Boucher, 2006 ; J. polygoni Spencer, 1973 ; J. desmodivora Spencer, 1966 and J. tingomariensis Sasakawa, 1992 ) lack these setae. Unfortunately, without male specimens the identification of the Mitaraka specimens could not be confirmed.
