Three species of Lithospermum are recorded in Britain. These include the native Field Gromwell (L. arvense), Common Gromwell (L. officinale) and Purple Gromwell (L. purpureocaeruleum).

Only one dipterous miner, the agromyzid Agromyza lithospermi, is recorded on Lithospermum in Britain.

See MYOSOTIS.

Elsewhere the agromyids Agromyza abiens, Agromyza lithospermi and Phytomyza medicaginis are recorded mining Lithospermum.

No non-dipterous miners are recorded on Lithospermum in Britain.

Elsewhere two British non-diptera miners are recorded on Lithospermum.
