Abstract
The root maggot flies are important pests of cultivated and non-cultivated plant species. This study on the invertebrate fauna of Nagorno-Karabakh was focused on the new leaf miners belonging to the Anthomyiidae. Pegomya bicolor (Wiedemann, 1817) and P. betae (Curtis, 1847) are documented for the first time in Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia; P. bicolor was found on the leaves of Rumex confertus (Willd.), while P. betae infested the leaves of Beta vulgaris L., and Chenopodium album (L.). Thus, two species of the genus Pegomya cause serious damage to fodder and agricultural crops, causing 55 to 90% damage. Details of species description, ecology of larva and pupa, as well as the damage are included.
