Leaf-mine:
A
large, irregular blotch mine with a short linear section in the
first instar which is frequently entirely enveloped in the fully
developed mine and may then be no longer visible (Spencer,
1976: 124).
Perhaps
the only character differentiating it from abiens
is the presence of several larvae in a fully developed mine of abiens
and just one in myosotidis (Bladmineerders
van Europa).
Larva:
Details unknown.
Puparium:
Reddish-brown; posterior spiracles each with 3 bulbs (Spencer,
1976: 124).

Distribution
in Great Britain and Ireland: Widespread in Britain including
Hampshire (Barnet), Oxford (Oxford), Suffolk (Dunwich), Denbighshire
(Cefn-y-bedd) (Spencer, 1972:
35) and Warwickshire (Corley and Coventry) (Robbins,
1991: 97); Cambridgeshire (NBN
Gateway - N.B. includes Watsonian Vice Counties having publicly
available records that fall within or overlap the vice county border
at 10km resolution or better i.e. a record for a vice county may
relate to an adjacent vice county - for included datasets see NBN
Grid map below).

Distribution
elsewhere: Widespread in continental Europe including Denmark,
Germany, Poland, Sweden (Spencer,
1976: 124) and the [former] U.S.S.R. (Mines in BMNH), Austria,
Belgium, Canary Is., Czech Republic, French mainland, Spanish mainland
and Switzerland (Martinez in Fauna
Europaea).
Also
recorded in Ethiopia (Spencer,
