Pegomya dulcamarae Wood, 1913
[Diptera: Anthomyiidae]


Pegomyia dulcamarae Wood, 1913. Entomologist's mon. Mag. 49: 85.
Pegomya dulcamarae Wood, 1913; Ackland, 1965. Entomologist's mon. Mag. 101: 21-24. [Redescription].


Leaf-mine: Similar to the mine of Pegomya hyoscyami, but differs in the presence of an unusually large puparium. Probably a better discrimination is the unusually large clutch size, which is on averge is eleven (Bladmineerders van Europa).

Larva: Details unknown.

Puparia: Details unknown.

Comments: Ackland in Chandler (1978) did not indicate whether his host record was British or Foreign and is therefore included under 'Hosts in Britain' and 'Hosts elsewhere

Hosts in Britain:

Solanaceae      
Solanum dulcamara Bittersweet Ackland, 1965: 21-24
? Solanum dulcamara Bittersweet Ackland in Chandler, 1978: 228
? Solanum dulcamara Bittersweet Robbins, 1991: 98

Hosts elsewhere:

Solanaceae      
? Solanum dulcamara Bittersweet Ackland in Chandler, 1978: 228
Solanum dulcamara Bittersweet Bladmineerders van Europa

Time of year - mines: Unknown.

Time of year - adults: Unknown.

Distribution in Great Britain and Ireland: Warwickshire (Robbins, 1991: 98); Cambridgeshire, Herefordshire and Oxfordshire (NBN Gateway - N.B. includes Watsonian Vice Counties having publicly available records that fall within or overlap the vice county border at 10km resolution or better i.e. a record for a vice county may relate to an adjacent vice county - for included datasets see NBN Grid map below).

NBN Grid map: Note that not all datasets on the NBN Gateway may be available on the map below. If you are an NBN Gateway registered user you can request access for missing datasets via the link 'Open interactive map in new window' below.

Distribution elsewhere: Recorded from Spanish mainland. Doubtfully recorded from Germany, Poland and Sweden (Michelsen, in Fauna Europaea).
