Authors

Abstract

The anthomyiid fly, Pegomya bicolor (Wiedemann, 1817), is newly recorded from Iran. It was collected during surveys on biocontrol agents of Rumex spp. (Polygonaceae) in Urmia region, north west of Iran. This leaf-mining fly is widely distributed in the Palaearctic region on several species of Rumex. Voucher specimens are being held at the Natural History Museum of Urmia University.
