Only one species of Homogyne is recorded in Britain, the introduced Purple Colt's-foot (H. alpina).

No Diptera miners are recorded on Homogyne in Britain.

Elsewhere the tephritid Acidia cognata is recorded mining Homogyne.

No non-Diptera miners are recorded on Homogyne in Britain.

A key to the European miners, based on characteristics of the mines, immature stages and where relevant the larval cases, recorded on Homogyne is provided in Bladmineerders van Europa.
