The invasive quarantine pest fly, A therigona ( A critochaeta ) orientalis S chiner, is observed for the first time in tomato greenhouses in G yeongsangbuk‐do, K orea. The genus A therigona R ondani is also newly added to K orean fauna. A llium tuberosum is listed as a new host crop for this species. Some morphological characteristics for accurate identification and host lists are given to provide plant quarantine information for pest management.
