The Agromyzidae family is composed of flies whose larvae feed on plants. Two leaf miner species that feed on crops of maize, Zea mays L., were studied. Agromyza parvicornis Loew 1869 caused linear mines and/or undefined spots, while Liriomyza marginalis (Malloch) 1913 mined linearly parallel to leaf veins. Herein are photographs of the mines, larvae, pupae, adults, and aedeagi of the two species. The Agromyza Fallen genus was registered in Mexico for the first time, and L. marginalis was added to the nine records of the genus in the country.
