Two species of Tetragonia are recorded in Britain. Both are introduced and include New Zealand Spinach (T. tetragonioides).

No British miners are recorded on Tetragonia.

Elsewhere the polyphagous agromyzid, Liriomyza huidobrensis, is recorded on Tetragonia. See also Liriomyza species in Glasshouses and/or Quarantine Interceptions.
