Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Roger Key Family   Anthomyiidae Sub Family   Description   anthomyid flies Background to Family   The larvae develop in a very broad range of hosts, especially dicot herbs; but also the fruiting bodies of fungi, ferns, grasses, and conifers and broadleaved trees. The larvae feed principally as miners, in many plant parts, and there are numerous economic pests.     No. taxa in DBIF   85 No. interactions   333 % interactions with British data   73% No. records   392 % taxa with British data   86% Notes   Nomenclature and validity of records checked by Michael Ackland (2007). New material added from certain articles in the Dipterists Digest.; The grasses involved in the interaction between Botanophila spp. and the fungus Epichloe have not been identified in Britain, although literature does exist for the hosts of Epichloe in other parts of the world.; Records of interactions with fungus hosts, published in A Dipterist’s Handbook (Chandler, P. Associations with plants: Fungi, pp. 199-211), have not been entered yet. Notes on Sources   (32%) Uffen, R. & Chandler, P. in eds. Stubbs, A. & Chandler, P.
