(type series of L. verbenicola Hering, consisting of three females from New Mexico; Spencer & Steyskal 1986) (Stegmaier 1966b; Lonsdale 2011). Numerous other hosts are recorded outside of North America (Lonsdale 2011). The records of Oatman (1959) involve a greenhouse experiment in which the test plant was caged with lima bean plants infested with “ Liriomyza pictella (Thomson) ”; only those plants from which adults were reared are listed here. Where this citation is underlined, it indicates that the record was also listed by Spencer & Steyskal (1986) but no primary source was found. Spencer & Steyskal (1986) additionally list Asteraceae: Baccharis L., but this record is apparently derived from specimens cited by Spencer (1981) that were presumed to have been caught on leaves. Their record of Fabaceae: Indigofera L. possibly refers only to the holotype female of L. canomarginis Frick from Hawaii. Leaf mines on the following hosts have been tentatively attributed to Liriomyza sativae, but not confirmed by rearing: Cucurbitaceae: Marah macrocarpus (Greene) Greene; Fabaceae: Centrosema? virginianum (L.) Benth.; Sapindaceae: Cardiospermum microcarpum Kunth; Solanaceae: Solanum erianthum D. Don. (Spencer & Stegmaier 1973; Spencer 1981).
Leaf mine. (Fig. 151) Whitish, upper surface, linear, with frass in conspicuous black strips on alternating sides.
Puparium. Yellow; formed outside the mine.
Distribution. USA: AL, CA, CO (Scheffer & Lewis 2005), FL, HI, KS, LA, MD, NM, OH (greenhouse), SC, TX; Neotropics; introduced in Arabian Peninsula, Australia (Keenan 2017), Cameroon, China, Greece, Guam, India, Japan, Nigeria, Oman, Russia, Tahiti, Thailand, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Zimbabwe (Lonsdale 2011).
Comments. No Nearctic agromyzid has previously been reared from Astragalus, but we found linear Liriomyza mines commonly on this host in Colorado, including on A.? drummondii Douglas ex Hook., A. laxmannii Jacq. var. robustior (Hook.) Barneby & S.L. Welsh, A.?lotiflorus Hook. and A. shortianus Nutt.
