Figures 1–7.Life history of two new species of Liriomyza. 1–3 Habitats 1 Open area in a valley near Reserva Biológica Manuel Alberto Brenes in San Ramón (site 2). Arrows indicate Bocconia frutescens trees 2 Bocconia frutescens saplings (in circle) growing along the road after land slides caused by 2009 earthquake in Cinchona-Vara Blanca area (site 10) 3 Ornamental Bocconia frutescens tree (in middle) in urban area of San Isidro de Coronado (site 15) 4 Liriomyza mystica female (from site 5) 5 Liriomyza prompta female (from site 13) 6 Mating couple of Liriomyza prompta on the underside of Bocconia frutescens leaf at 7:00 am (30.v.2009, site 13) 7 Liriomyza prompta ovipositing on the upper side of Bocconia frutescens leaf blade at 3:00 pm (17.vi.2011, site 2).

Figures 8–11.External morphology of adult Liriomyza mystica. 8 Head, lateral 9 Head, dorso-frontal 10 Thorax, dorsal 11 Thorax, dorsal (teneral specimen).

Figures 20–27.Life history of Liriomyza mystica larvae on Bocconia frutescens. 20–22 External evidence caused by internal larval feeding on vein and petiole 20 Brown to reddish brown spots (ca. 1–2 mm long) on upperside along primary vein, marked by rectangular line. Arrow indicates Liriomyza prompta mine 21 Pale brown linear spots along the primary vein seen through strong sunlight from the back. Note that lower part of vein (underside) is thicker and shown as shadow 22 Mine in pale colour zigzag, approximately 30 mm long 23 Longitudinally opened primary vein with linear mine (circle) and late instar larva (arrow) 24 Late instar larva in situ, ventral view. Cephalopharyngeal skeleton on right. Notice orange spot at head 25 Mature larva exiting from underside of vein (arrow). Close-up view, lower right. Notice orange spot at head 26 Exit hole (ca. 1 mm wide) on underside of primary vein 27 Mature larva in pre-puparial stage. Posterior on right.
