Chromatomyia scolopendri is a species of leaf-mining fly in the family Agromyzidae, of the order Diptera. The larva mine the leaves of ferns. It was described by Jean-Baptiste Robineau-Desvoidy in 1851 and is found in Europe (Denmark, the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, Ireland and Poland; also in Thrace).^[2]

Life history

The larvae are leaf miners and feed in a long (up to 10 cm), greenish corridor with the frass, in an almost uninterrupted line. In small ferns, the mine follows the edge and become a blotch, while in larger leaves, where space is not limited the long linear mine can curve smoothly and can also mine the midrib. Pupation is usually within the mine.^[1]

It had been recorded on rustyback (Asplenium ceterach), wall-rue (Asplenium ruta-muraria), hart's-tongue fern (Asplenium scolopendrium), forked spleenwort (Asplenium septentrionale) and common polypody (Polypodium vulgare).^[3]

Distribution

Found in Europe, from Poland to Ireland, and from Italy and the Iberian Peninsula to Denmark.^[3]
