Leaf-mine: Mine linear but normally developing into secondary blotch, feeding confined to apex of a leaf segment (Spencer, 1972b: 70 (fig. 225); Spencer, 1976: 374, 375 (fig. 652)). Pupation normally external, but Lundquist (1947) records that 8 of 10 larvae pupated in the mine in Sweden. Larva: Details unknown. Puparium: Reddish-brown; posterior spiracular processes extended, each with up to 18 bulbs (Spencer, 1976: 374).
