Leaf-mine: Full depth mine; in parts of the mine the parenchyma remain untouched.
The larva enters and exits the leaf by means of an oval opening
of 3-5 mm at the base, near the leaf edge. Pupation external (Bladmineerders
van Europa).
Forms a deep mine with plentiful frass. The larva changes leaves entering and leaving near the leaf edge (British
leafminers).
Larva:
The larva is described Rotheray (1988)
and Stuke (2000). Posterior spiracles on a large common black spot; mandible with one tooth (Bladmineerders
van Europa).
Puparium:
Details unknown.
Comments:
Chandler (1978) did not
indicate whether his host records were British or Foreign and are
therefore tentatively included under 'Hosts in Britain' and 'Hosts
elsewhere'.

Also
recorded in the Republic of Ireland (Speight, 2004 in Fauna
Europaea). Also Beltany approach path, Raphoe, Co. Donegal (British
leafminers).
