Abstract

Hylemya fugax (Meigcn), an anthomyid fly closely related to the seed-corn maggot, has been reported as a leaf miner, a pest of cauliflower heads, and as a saprophagous secondary invader of various crops. Observations show that this species is more abundant in Oregon than previously thought and that it is active in the field from March through November. Studies on cauliflower have implicated fugax with the discoloration of the heads, but only incidentally as a result of its saprophytic habits.
