Diagnosis. Wing length 1.6 mm. Head, face and antenna yellowish; mesonotum predominantly black, almost reaching the scutellum; scutellum yellow; calypter yellowish with margin black, fringe black. Aedeagus (Fig. 30 and 31): basiphallus slightly sclerotized, dorsoventrally flattened; mesophallus elongated, enlarged basally and fused to distiphallus; distiphallus compact, sclerotized, enlarged at apex, forming slender projections posteriorly visible in lateral view and a pair of short tubules distally.
Host-plants. Solanaceae— Solanum hirtum Vahl , S. nigrum L., S. donianum Walp.
Distribution. * Brazil, Venezuela.

Comments. Liriomyza solanivora is morphologically similar to some polyphagous species of this genus that are also leaf miners of Solanaceae , e.g. L. sativae Blanchard and L. trifolii (Burgess) , due to the shape of the dark dorsal marking on the mesonotum. The shape of the distiphallus is essential to differentiate this species from the others. L. sativae and L. trifolii have a cup-like distiphallus, and a short mesophallus not enlarged basally which are distinguishable from L. solanivora .
