Key for separation of Liriomyza spp. by allozyme electrophoresis: Protocol A. The most common phenotype of L. bryoniae found on the gel is used as a standard: G6PDH 25, IDH 18, ME 31/38 (Fig. 5)

1 G6PDH band faster than L. bryoniae standard L. huidobrensis
G6PDH the same or slower than the L. bryoniae standard 2
2 IDH band faster than the L. bryoniae standard* L. sativae
IDH band same as or slower than the L. bryoniae standard 3
3 ME band slower than the L. bryoniae standard L. trifolii
ME band the same as the L. bryoniae standard (heterozygote) or only one of the L. bryoniae homozygote bands present L. bryoniae
*

L. bryoniae also has one rare allele, which is faster than the standard. This is still marginally slower than the L. sativae band.
