Ptochomyza Hering, 1942: 530. Type species: Ptochomyza asparagi Hering 1942, by original designation. Winkler et al. 2009 : 282 [as subgenus]; Lonsdale 2015 : 637. Phytomyza is the most speciose genus of Agromyzidae with ca. 800 species worldwide, and certainly the most diverse with respect to morphology and host use. The classification of the group was developed by Winker et al. (2009) when they synonymized Chromatomyia , and included Napomyza and the small genus Ptochomyza as subgenera, finding that all of these rendered the larger Phytomyza paraphyletic. Further discussion is provided in Lonsdale (2015) and Lonsdale and Eiseman (2021) . Species of the subgenus Napomyza occur globally, occurring mostly towards the west in North America, and while none are yet known from the Delmarva states, it is likely that they will eventually be found. Zlobin (1994) discussed the characters used by Spencer to diagnose Napomyza , finding them to be plesiomorphic and not sufficient to maintain the genus as a separate entity. Zlobin instead provided tentative characters of the male genitalia, although similar characters are found in some Phytomyza s. s. and should be used with caution ( Winkler et al. 2009 ). Species of the subgenus Ptochomyza are mostly restricted to the Palaearctic Region; a minority also occur in the Afrotropics, as discussed by Lonsdale (2015) . In previous keys and diagnoses, the length of the fronto-orbital setae and the lengths of the costal sectors were used to differentiate those species of Phytomyza with a dark frons. These characters appear to vary much more widely than previously appreciated among many of those species, however, making them unreliable for diagnosis and they are not used in the key provided below. Male dissections should be made whenever possible to verify identifications, as genitalic characters in this genus are among the most complex and distinct of any Agromyzidae .
