GOSSYPIUM. Cottons. [Malvaceae]


Two species of Gossypium are recorded in Britain. Both are introduced.

No British miners are recorded on Gossypium.

Elsewhere the agromyzids Liriomyza sativae and Liriomyza trifolii are recorded mining Gossypium. See also Liriomyza species in Glasshouses and/or Quarantine Interceptions.

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