With this study the number of leafminer species were updated to 175 species that was previously 165 species. Also A. nigrella is economically important species. This species feed with economically important plants i.e. Avena sativa L. (Poaceae) (Oats), Triticum aestivum L. (Poaceae) (Wheat), Secale cereale L. (Poaceae) (Rye), Hordeum vulgare L.
