Leaf-mine:
Mine
initially linear, adjoining margin of leaf, later developing into
a blotch, always on the mid-rib (Spencer,
1976: 145, fig. 265).
Blotch,
preceded by a corridor that closely follows the leaf margin. The
blotch is mined much deeper (and therefore more transparent) than
the corridor. The blotch is precisely positioned over te midrib
of the leaflet. Frass very sparingly in the corridor, in the blotch
as a few large lumps. Pupation outside the mine (Bladmineerders van Europa).
The
mine is also described and illustrated in British
leafminers.
Larva:
Posterior spiracles each with 3 bulbs (Spencer,
1976: 145).
Puparium:
Yellowish-red (Spencer, 1976:
145).
