Abstract:
The Agromyzidae family represent a very particular group of phytophagous insects because of their habit. The larvae of this group of insects, when feeding on the plant, build galleries in the leaf parenchyma that also provide them with shelter. Although most representatives of this group of insects are leaf miners (around 75%), there are agromyzid larvae that can feed on roots, stems, pods and inflorescences of herbaceous plants, and trunks and branches of trees. The aim of this manuscript was to carry out an inventory of the Agromyzidae Family (Insecta: Diptera) related to its biogeography, bioecology, habitat, geographic distribution, taxonomy, life cycle, phenology and taxonomic and conceptual aspects of the Family, Subfamilies and Species. To this end, a bibliographic survey of Agromyzidae was carried out in the years 1937 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international scientific events, Doctoral Thesis and Master's Dissertation were considered. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Academia.edu, Frontiers, Qeios, Pubmed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSeek, Microsoft Academic, Science and ERIC.
