Abstract

Melanagromyza bonavistae sp.n. is described from the pods of bonavist beans (Dolichos lablab) and cow peas (Vigna unguiculata) at Kawanda, Uganda. The thirdinstar larva and posterior spiracles are illustrated. Notes on the life-history are also given; two species of primary parasites and one, possibly two, species of hyperparasites have been reared.
