Leaf-mine: Corridor leaf-mine in leaves. An upper surface linear mine with frass in conspicuous greenish strips, largely alternating at each side of the channel (Spencer, 1976: 241). The mine is illustrated in British leafminers and Nederlandse bladmineerders. Vicia sepium Lathyrus pratensis Mines of Liriomyza congesta. Images: Willem Ellis (Source: Nederlandse bladmineerders) Larva: The larva is described by de Meijere (1925) and Sasakawa (1961, as trifolii); posterior spiracles each with 3 bulbs Ellis (Nederlandse bladmineerders). Puparium: The puparium is illustrated by Ellis (Nederlandse bladmineerders). Yellow; posterior spiracles each with 3 bulbs (Spencer, 1976: 241).
