Visual Description
Based on observations of preserved specimens, Aulagromyza populi is a small fly typical of the family Agromyzidae.[1] The specimens exhibit a compact, robust body form with a dark, often brownish or blackish, coloration.[1] The wings are typically clear and membranous, with characteristic venation patterns common to the genus.[1]
Biology and Ecology
Aulagromyza populi (Kaltenbach, 1864) is an accepted species within the family Agromyzidae.[2] As a member of this family, it is likely a leaf-miner, as the larvae of most Agromyzidae species feed within the tissues of plants.[3]
Interactions recorded for this species include being a host to several parasitoid wasps, such as Diglyphus minoeus, Chrysocharis amyite, and Pediobius metallicus (all Hymenoptera: Eulophidae).[3]
