Aulagromyza hendeliana (Hering, 1926).

Leaf-miner: A long conspicuous white linear mine. Pupation external (Spencer, 1976: 315, 317 (fig. 565)).

An upper-surface corridor that widens only a little, and generally is unbranched. Often a part of the corridor loosely follows the leaf margin. Frass in two neat rows of grains or short thread fragments. Pupation outside the mine. Feeding punctures in the lower surface (always?) (Bladmineerders van Europa).

An upper surface gallery with frass in large, well-spaced grains (British leafminers).

Larva: The larvae of flies are leg-less maggots without a head capsule (see examples). They never have thoracic or abdominal legs. They do not have chewing mouthparts, although they do have a characteristic cephalo-pharyngeal skeleton (see examples), usually visible internally through the body wall.

Posterior spiracles of larva (and puparium) without horn within ellipse of spiracular bulbs (British leafminers). The larvae was described by de Meijere (1949), Dempewolf (2001: 164) and in Bladmineerders van Europa.

Puparium: The puparia of flies are formed within the hardened last larval skin or puparium and as a result sheaths enclosing head appendages, wings and legs are not visible externally (see examples).

Yellowish; posterior spiracles with 20 minute bulbs, without a horn-like process (Spencer, 1976: 315). The puparium is illustrated in British leafminers and Bladmineerders van Europa.
