Description

<p>Flies infesting orchid flowers and fruits were collected from 16 orchid species from nine prefectures in Japan. Fifteen orchid species collected from Fukushima to Kumamoto Prefectures were infested by Japanagromyza tokunagai(Sasakawa). These results suggest that this agromyzid fly feeds on a wide range of orchid species, and is widely distributed in Japan. On the other hand, two orchids were injured by Chyliza vittata Meigen. Because these orchids were collected from Hokkaido Prefecture or high-altitude areas in Yamanashi Prefecture, this fly species seems to be distributed in cool temperate areas, but further investigations are required.</p>
