Orthochaetes insignis (Aube, 1863) [Coleoptera: Curculionidae]. Orthochaetes insignis (Aube, 1863).

Leaf-mine: Rather narrow corridor, untidy and sometimes branched, starting from the base of the leaf, in particular the midrib. Sides of the corridor irregularly eaten out, not really parallel. Frass mostly present, and then in a central line. The larva is capable of leaving the mine and start a new one elsewhere. These later mines are much broader, and the frass is scattered irregularly. (Bladmineerders van Europa). Larva: Larvae without feet (Bladmineerders van Europa). Pupa: Pupation outside the mine (Bladmineerders van Europa). Hosts in Britain: Unknown.
