Phytobia Triangularis
''Phytobia'' is a genus of flies in the family Agromyzidae, with a worldwide distribution principally in Europe and the Americas. Description All known larvae of ''Phytobia'' feed on the young xylem within stems of woody plants, creating concealed galleries that may reach considerable lengths (reportedly up to 17 m in ''P. betulae''). '' P. betulae'' lays its eggs on the bark of new-growth twigs of suitable birch trees and, after hatching, larvae tunnel downwards along the shoot within the differentiating xylem layer, sometimes reaching the base of the tree. Adults are small- to medium-sized flies (approximately 5 mm in the case of ''P. betulae''). Confirmed host plant families for ''Phytobia'' species include Betulaceae, Fagaceae, Rosaceae, Salicaceae, Sapindaceae, and Cupressaceae in North America, Europe, and Australia, with Asteraceae also hypothesized to be a host family based on the finding of possible larval sign on the shrub Wedelia calycina in Guadeloupe.

Phytobia Lateralis
''Phytobia'' is a genus of Diptera, flies in the family Agromyzidae, with a worldwide distribution principally in Europe and the Americas. Description All known larvae of ''Phytobia'' feed on the young xylem within stems of woody plants, creating concealed galleries that may reach considerable lengths (reportedly up to 17 m in Phytobia betulae, ''P. betulae''). ''Phytobia betulae, P. betulae'' lays its eggs on the bark of new-growth twigs of suitable Betula, birch trees and, after hatching, larvae tunnel downwards along the shoot within the differentiating xylem layer, sometimes reaching the base of the tree. Adults are small- to medium-sized flies (approximately 5 mm in the case of ''P. betulae'').

Wedelia
''Wedelia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. They are one of the genera commonly called "creeping-oxeyes". The genus is named in honor of German botanist and physician Georg Wolfgang Wedel, 1645–1721. Taxonomy There are difficulties regarding the classification of this genus for its affinities are uncertain. Further studies are needed to clarify its taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships.Orchard, Anthony E. 2013.
