2a corridor pinnately branched, main axis overlying the midrib: Liriomyza strigata
2b corridor little branched, not pinnate, not associated with the midrib => 3
3a corridor upper-surface; frass in a broad, central green band; larva: rear spiraculum with 3 papillae: Liriomyza congesta
3b corridor often partly lower-surface; frass without green band, in black grains and thread fragments; rear spiraculum with 7-9 papillae: Liriomyza bryoniae
Not included in the key: Aproaerema anthyllidella; Liriomyza trifolii; Tuta absoluta.
