Agromyza potentillae Kaltenbach, 1864; A. spiraeae Kaltenbach, 1867; A. sanguisorbae Hendel, 1931; A. stackelbergi (Frey, 1946); A. erici Rydén, 1952.

notes

The synonymy of A. idaeaiana with A. potentillae has been discovered rather recently. In almost all literature the latter name is used.
The mines strongly resemble those of A. spiraeoidearum, but that species lives an another subfamily of the Rosaceae, namely the Amygdaloideae.
