Leaf-mine:
A long winding, whitish linear mine, initially lower surface,
later upper surface. Pupation takes place within the leaf, in a
distinct pupal blister, the anterior spiracles projecting through
the epidermis (Spencer, 1976:
320-1, fig. 578). The mine is illustrated in British
leafminers and Nederlandse
bladmineerders.
Larva:
The larva is described by (Skuhravá
& Roques, 2000).
Puparium:
Dark brown; posterior spiracles each having an ellipse of some 20
minute bulbs (Spencer, 1976:
320).
