Abstract
This paper is based on 58 specimens of Agromyzidae collected by staff of the Bishop Museum, Honolulu, in the Alishan Mountains (alt. 1,800-2,400 m) of Taiwan. Eighteen species are represented. Five of these are described as new to science: Cerodontha (Icteromyza) alishana sp. nov., Liriomyza maai sp. nov., L. strumosa sp. nov., Phytomyza pseudoangelicae sp. nov., and P. quadrispinosa sp. nov. Seven species in six genera, including two uncommon species in Europe, Phytoliriomyza alpicola (Strobl, 1898) and Phytomyza salviae (Hering, 1924), are recorded as new to the Taiwanese fauna of this family, bringing the total number now to 107 species.
