The agromyzid flies are important pests of many agricultural crops, including food legumes. The agromyzids belonging to the genera Melanagromyza, Phytomyza, Liriomyza, and Ophiomyia severely damage legume crops worldwide, causing enormous yield losses. Agromyzids are strictly host-specific, and few species exhibit oligophagy. Some species (Phytomyza spp.) are highly polyphagous, feeding on diverse host plants. The adult agromyzids are small flies, and the larval stages are internal feeders that damage leaves, stems, seeds, pods, or roots of the plants. Successful control of these pests requires strict monitoring, detection, identification, and knowledge of their host plants and biology. In this chapter, the economically important agromyzid flies infesting legume crops, their management, and other aspects are described in detail.
