Leaf-mine: Larva forms an upper surface primary blotch with several larvae feeding together; the blotch is greenish when fresh but becomes yellowish with age (Spencer, 1972b: 78 (fig. 257); Spencer, 1976: 376, 377 (fig. 655)). The mine is illustrated in British leafminers and Nederlandse bladmineerders. Mine of Phytomyza angelicae on Aquilegia sylvestris. Image: Brian Pitkin Larva: The larva is described by Allen (1956, 1957b), Griffiths (1973c), de Meijere (1926) and Ellis (Nederlandse bladmineerders); posterior spiracles with approx. 20 bulbs. Puparium: Black; each side of the anus has a distinct conical projection; posterior spiracles each having an ellipse of some 20 minute bulbs or bulbs (Spencer, 1976: 376).
