Ophiomyia vignivora

Ophiomyia vignivora Spencer, 1973

IMPORTANT CHARACTERS (Spencer, 1973)
Wing length: 1.6 - 1.9 mm. Genae relatively broad; Vibrissal fasciculus in male absent. Squamal fringe white. Generally the body is conspicuously pubescent, mesonotum mat, at lateral part shining or subshining.

BIONOMICS
Not exactly known, probably a leaf miner (Spencer, 1973).

HOST PLANT
Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.

DISTRIBUTION
Only known from Pakistan.

ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE
The species was described within Spencer's book on Agromyzidae of economic importance in 1973 (Spencer, 1973). Serious damage was never reported, neither before nor after the species description. Therefore the species is probably of minor importance and not a potential pest.
