CERATOCHLOA. Bromes. [Poaceae]

Five species of Ceratochloa are recorded in Britain. All are introduced.

Only one British miner is recorded on Ceratochloa.

Nearly 100 British miners or possible miners are recorded on grasses in Britain.

A key to the European miners recorded on Ceratochloa is provided in Bladmineerders van Europa.

It is recommended that adults of all miners on grasses be reared to be certain of their identity.

1# > Leaf-miner: Details of mine and larva unknown. Because the adult fly closely resembles that of A. nigrella, possibly this applies as well to mine and larvae. Puparium dark brown

On Bromopsis and Ceratochloa, in Britain and Bromus and Bromopsis elsewhere. Widespread in Britain. Also recorded from Europe.

Agromyza bromi Spencer, 1926 [Diptera: Agromyzidae].
