Two dipterous miners, the polyphagous agromyzids Chromatomyia horticola and Liriomyza strigata, are recorded on Lavatera in Britain. See ALTHAEA. Elsewhere the polyphagous agromyzids Chromatomyia horticola, Liriomyza bryoniae and Liriomyza strigata are recorded mining Lavatera. No non-dipterous miners are recorded on Lavatera in Britain.
