CYNODON. Bermuda grasses. [Poaceae]

Four species of Cynodon are recorded in Britain. These include Bermuda grass (C. dactylon) and African Bermuda-grass (C. incompletus).

Only one British miner is recorded on Cynodon.

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

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