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.
