Leaf-mine: An initially lower-surface linear leaf-mine, which later develops into large whitish blotch and appears pale and mottled from above, due to the variable depth of larval feeding. Less frequently feeding in upper surface or stem (Spencer, 1972b: 37, fig. 112); Spencer, 1976: 118). Larva: The larva is described by Darvas, Skuhravá & Andersen (2000), de Meijere (1926) and in Nederlandse bladmineerders). Puparium: Reddish; posterior spiracles each with up to 40 bulbs on a black conical projection (Spencer, 1976: 118, fig. 196). Hosts in Britain: Fabaceae       Lathyrus grandiflorus Two-flowered Everlasting-pea Mines in BMNH Lathyrus latifolius Broad-leaved Everlasting-pea Mines in BMNH Lathyrus latifolius Broad-leaved Everlasting-pea Robbins, 1991: 46 Lathyrus latifolius Broad-leaved Everlasting-pea Spencer, 1972b: 117 Lathyrus rotundifolius Round-leaved Vetchling Mines in BMNH Lathyrus tuberosus Tuberous Pea Mines in BMNH Pisum sativum Garden Pea Mines in BMNH Pisum sativum Garden Pea Spencer, 1972b: 117 Hosts elsewhere: Fabaceae       Lathyrus     Spencer, 1976: 118 Lathyrus     Spencer, 1990: 112 Lathyrus     Nederlandse bladmineerders Ononis     Nederlandse bladmineerders Pisum     Spencer, 1990: 112 Pisum sativum Garden Pea Nederlandse bladmineerders Pisum sativum Garden Pea Spencer, 1976: 118 Time of year - mines: June-August. Time of year - adults: Unknown. Distribution in Britain: Kent (New Cross), Surrey (Kew) (Spencer, 1972b: 41), Warwick (Coventry) (Robbins, 1991: 46) and Cambridge (NBN Gateway distribution map - NE). Distribution elsewhere: Widespread in Europe including Denmark, Germany, Holland, Italy (Spencer, 1976: 118), Corsica, Czech Republic, French mainland, Lithuana, Poland, Romania, Spanish mainland, Sweden and The Netherlands (Martinez in Fauna Europaea).
