Abstract

The paper presents the list and descriptions of Diptera pests found on onion vegetables in Croatia in the period from 1999-2001. There is also presented the frequency of single species in the total population of flies registered in this period on onion vegetables in Hrastelnica near Sisak. Four species of Diptera from two families of insects were registered: Delia antiqua (Meigen) from the family Anthomyiidae and Liriomyza cepae (Hering), Chromatomyia horticola (Goureau) and Napomyza gymnostoma (Loew) from the family Agromyzidae. According to the references, the species Suillia lurida (Meigen) from the family Heleomyzidae is also present in Croatia but was not found on onion in these researches. The species N. gymnostoma is a new Diptera pest on onion vegetables in Croatia. Before the appearance of N. gymnostoma, D. antiqua was considered the most important Diptera pest on onion vegetables.
