Apteropeda orbiculata (Marsham, 1802) [Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae]. Chrysomela orbiculata Marsham, 1802. Apteropeda orbiculata (Marsham, 1802).

Leaf-mine: Rather long full depth corridor that winds freely through the leaf and may cross itself. In the end the corridor widens considerably. Frass mostly in a narrow central line, but may also be deposited along the sides or be missing. The larvae regular leave a mine to restart elsewhere. Pupation outside the mine. Neither larva nor mine can be distinguished from that of related species (Bladmineerders van Europa). Mine of Apteropeda orbiculata on Plantago major Image: Willem Ellis (Bladmineerders van Europa) The mine is also described and illustrated in British leafminers. Larva: The larva is described and illustrated in British leafminers. Pupa: Details unknown. Comments: Stachys officinalis is treated as Betonica officinalis (Betony) by Stace (2010).
