Leaf-mine: A small somewhat irregular, elongate blotch (Spencer,
1972: 57; Spencer, 1976:
273 (fig. 491), 274).
Elongated
uper-surface blotch with fairly little frass in loose grains. Pupation
outside the mine; exit slit in upper epidermis (Bladmineerders van Europa).
Larva:
The larva is described by de Meijere (1925).
Posterior spiracles each with an ellipse of 8-10 bulbs (Spencer,
1972: 57; Spencer, 1976:
274). The larva is illustrated in Bladmineerders van Europa.
Puparium:
The puparium is illustrated in Bladmineerders van Europa.
Comments:
Leontodon autumnalis is
treated as Scorzoneroides autumnalis (Autumn Hawkbit) by
Stace (2010).
