Abstract: Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) was first found causing damage in Taiwan in early 1999, and is now believed to be a widespread and dominant pest species on some vegetable crops, Cucurbitaceae, legumes and composites. This note focuses on the taxonomic and morphological descriptions of this pest species in order to assist for further diagnostic discrimination; including the redescriptions in more detail of external morphology, male and female terminalia, and some larval characters.
