Lamiaceae : * Hedeoma hispida Pursh , * Lycopus uniflorus Michx. , Mentha arvensis L., Monarda * didyma L., M. fistulosa L. ( Spencer 1969 ). Spencer & Steyskal (1986) recorded the following additional hosts based on leaf mines from California and Florida where adults have not been found: Hyptis mutabilis ( A . Rich.) Briq. , Monarda punctata L., Monardella odoratissima Benth. , and Ocimum L. Spencer (1969) tentatively attributed a leaf mine on Agastache nepetoides (L.) Kuntze to this species. Our female reared from Prunella vulgaris L. is consistent with Calycomyza menthae , as are the leaf mines on this host, but males would be needed to be certain of the identification. This is the first record of any Calycomyza from Prunella . We have found likely mines of C. menthae on Mentha canadensis L. and M. spicata L. in Massachusetts . A leaf mine on Pycnanthemum Michx. photographed in Maryland ( Wilson 2013 ) may also represent C. menthae ; this is not a known host for any agromyzid. Leaf mine. ( Fig. 114 ) Initially a narrow brown line, expanding to a messy, brownish blotch with clean, whitish margins here and there. Feeding lines like those of Nemorimyza posticata were visible in some examples. In the small leaves of Hedeoma , the mine occupies the entire leaf surface. Puparium. Yellowish-brown to pale reddish-brown; formed outside the mine. Distribution. USA : *MA, *NC, *OK, *VT; Canada : AB ( Sehgal 1971 ), ON. The records of California and Florida ( Spencer & Steyskal 1986 ) are based only on leaf mines. Our tentatively identified female reared from Prunella was collected in Oregon , and we have seen probable Calycomyza menthae mines on Monarda (including photographs posted to www.BugGuide.net) in CT, IA, MN, MO, and WI. Comments. The only other Lamiaceae-feeding Calycomyza recorded from North America is C. hyptidis Spencer , which forms a characteristic star-shaped blotch with the frass all deposited in the center. It is not known to occur north of Florida . Although the host and distribution records based on leaf mines noted above may well all represent C. menthae , male specimens are needed to confirm them.
