Phytomyza gymnostoma, common name onion leaf miner or allium leafminer, is a species of leaf miner and a agricultural pest, specialising in crops in the Allium genus.[1] These plants include onions, leeks, and garlic. It is native to mainland Europe, but was first detected in England in 2002,[2] and North America in 2015.[1] They are bivoltine, meaning they produce two generations per year.
