Roth
(
Frick 1959
;
Spencer 1965
,
1969
;
Lonsdale 2017
;
Scheffer & Lonsdale 2018
). The
Oxytropis
record was originally reported as
O. sericea
Nutt. (
Lonsdale 2017
)
, but according to USDA, NRCS (2017),
O. campestris
var.
spicata
is the only valid taxon occurring in
British Columbia
that has been referred to as
O. sericea
.
Spencer (1969)
also attributed to
Liriomyza fricki
empty leaf mines on “
Caragana pubescens
” in
Alberta
, apparently referring to
C. arborescens
Lam. The
erroneous record of
Vigna
Savi
(
Sehgal 1971
; Lonsdale 2011) can be traced back to
Stegmaier’s (1968)
listing of
Vicia villosa
as
Vigna villosa
.
Leaf mine.
(
Fig. 141
) According to
Spencer & Steyskal (1986)
, a “short linear mine, with frass in greenishblack strips.”
Sehgal (1971)
described the mine as a small blotch with a short linear beginning. The single confirmed example we have seen was whitish and essentially linear, but it widened dramatically and contorted to form a secondary blotch. The dark green frass particles were deposited rather irregularly, loosely arranged into alternating elongate patches unlike the distinct strips seen in other
Liriomyza
mines.
Puparium.
Yellow-orange; formed outside the mine.
