Comments.
Japanagromyza sasakawai
is similar to
Japanagromyza
species that have prescutellar setae and a well-sclerotized tubular aedeagus, but can be differentiated from those by the globose mesophallus with spine-like processes (similar to
J. hymenoedemia
Sasakawa
and
J. crinicolis
Lonsdale
) and the enlarged triangular distiphallus. Larvae
form irregular
blotches on the surface of the leaf with frass deposited on the edge of the mine.
