Eighteen species of Prunus are recorded in Britain. These include the native Blackthorn (P. spinosa), Bird Cherry (P. padus) and Wild Cherry (P. avium) and the introduced Cherry Plum (P. cerasifera). No dipterous miners are recorded on Prunus in Britain. The agromyzid Phytobia cerasifera is recorded boring the stems of Prunus cerasifera in Kent. Twenty-eight non-dipterous miners are recorded on Prunus in Britain. Elsewhere one additional British non-dipterous miner is recorded on Prunus.
