Comments.
Mines formed by
Calycomyza hyptisicola
are similar to those formed by
C. hyptidis
. However, these species can be differentiated by the shape of the male genitalia. The shape of the aedeagus in
C. hyptisicola
is similar to that of
C. lantanae
and
C. verbenae
. However, the shape of the distiphallus and the presence of the subquadrate sclerite allows for differentiating this species from the others.
