Melanagromyza obtusa (Díptera: Agromyzidae) is recorded for the first time in Colombia. Distribution of this species is mainly Asiatic although it has been recently reported in Florida (The United States of America), the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Panama, and Peru. In countries such as India, Indonesia (Java) and Malaysia, it is recognized as an important pest in economic crops of Cajanus cajan (Fabaceae) and, to a lesser degree, in other Fabaceae, such as Flemingia macrophylla.
Melanagromyza obtusa (Diptera: Agromyzidae) se registra por primera vez para Colombia. Esta especie de distribución principalmente asiática presenta registros recientes para Florida (Estados Unidos), República Dominicana, Puerto Rico, Haití, Panamá y Perú. En países como India, Indonesia (Java) y Malasia se conoce como plaga de importancia económica en cultivos de Cajanus cajan (Fabaceae) y en menor grado en otras Fabáceas como Flemingia macrophylla.
