Agromyzidae is a large and cosmopolitan fly family with approximately 2,500 known species. Here we present 22 new records of agromyzid-host plant associations. Plants were sampled from 2002 to 2005 in São Paulo state, Brazil. A total of eight agromyzid species were reared from 18 Asteraceae host species. The genus Melanagromyza Hendel was the commonest. This is the first detailed study reporting associations between non-leafmining Agromyzidae and their host plants in Brazil.
潜蝇科是一个大型的世界性蝇类家族，已知约有2500个物种。在此，我们呈现了22个潜蝇科与寄主植物关联的新记录。植物样本于2002年至2005年在巴西圣保罗州采集。总共从18种菊科寄主植物中饲养出了8种潜蝇科物种。黑潜蝇属（Melanagromyza Hendel）是最常见的。这是巴西第一项详细研究非潜叶性潜蝇科及其寄主植物之间关联的报告。
