Leaf-mine: Upper-surface corridor, generally in the upper half of the blade, running up to the leaf tip, usually occupying more then half the width of the leaf. Frass in green stripes at either side of the corridor. Never more than one larva in a mine. Puparium within the mine, metallic black, not anchered with a string of silk (Nederlandse bladmineerders). Larva: Details unknown. Puparium: Metallic black, deeply segmented; posterior spiracular processes generally as in Cerodontha incisa, but with the 3 bulbs more elongate, the lower two curving around the base of the hook-like upper one (Spencer, 1976: 195).
