MALUS. Crab Apple and Apple. [Rosaceae]
Nine species of Malus are recorded in Britain. These include one native species, Crab Apple (M. sylvestris). Apple (M. pumila) is introduced. Only one dipterous miner, the agromyzid Phytomyza heringiana, is recorded on Malus in Britain. Only four other dipterous miners, the agromyzids Agromyza filipendulae, Agromyza sulfuriceps and Phytomyza heringiana and the anthomyiid Pegomya rubivora are recorded on the family Rosaceae in Britain, a single key to all five species is provided. See AGRIMONIA.	Apple - Malus pumila
The agromyzid Phytobia carbonaria is recorded boring stems of Crataegus and Malus in Britain. Twenty-seven non-dipterous miners are recorded on Malus in Britain. Elsewhere one additional British non-dipterous miner is recorded on Malus.
