AETHIONEMA. Candytufts. [Brassicaceae]

Two species of Aethionema, Persian Candytuft (A. gradiflorum) and Burnt Candtuft (A. saxatile), are recorded in Britain. Both are introduced. No dipterous miners are recorded on Aethionema in Britain. Elsewhere the polyphagous agromyzid Liriomyza bryoniae and the polyphagous drosophilid Scaptomyza flava are recorded mining Aethionema. No non-dipterous miners are recorded on Aethionema in Britain.
