Scaptomyza (Scaptomyza) flava (Fallén, 1823) [Diptera: Drosophilidae] Drosophila flava Fallén, 1823c. Geomyzides Sveciae : 7. Notiphila flaveola Meigen, 1830. Syst. Beschr. 6: 66. [Synonymised by Bachli & Rocha Pite, 1984]. Scaptomyza apicalis Hardy, 1849b. Proc. Berwicksh. Nat. Club 2: 362. [Synonymised by Bachli & Rocha Pite, 1984]. Scaptomyza montana Wheeler, 1949. Univ. Tex. Publs 4921: 166. [Synonymised by Hackman, 1959].

Leaf-mine: Corridor-blotch mine, normally dorsal; usually whitish; in small leaves it lies characteristically in the centre of the leaf often touching the petiole; in larger leaves it lies to one side of the mid-rib. Frass deposited in green clumps near the leaf margin. Pupation usually external, sometimes in a separate pupation mine. The mine is illustrated in British leafminers and Nederlandse bladmineerders.

Puparium: The puparium is illustrated by Ellis (Nederlandse bladmineerders).
