LYCOPUS. Gypsywort. [Lamiaceae]

Only one species of Lycopus is recorded in Britain, the native Gypsywort (L. europaeus).

No dipterous miners are recorded on Lycopus in Britain.

Elsewhere the agromyzid Amauromyza labiatarum is recorded mining Lycopus.

One non-dipterous leaf-miner is recorded on Lycopus in Britain but this requires confirmation.
