Leaf-mine: A short, narrow, linear mine, generally closely following margin of leaf segment; in very small sections of a leaf producing a secondary blotch (Spencer, 1972: 89 (fig. 302), 92; Spencer, 1976: 401 (fig. 702), 402). Upper-surface corridor, in the end widening so strongly that within the limited space of an umbelliferous leaf often a secondary blotch is the result. The upper-surface mine is preceded by a short lower-surface corridor, made by the first instar larva during the first part of this stage (Allen, 1956a). It is difficult to observe, also because it tends to follow the leaf margin. Frass in two untidy rows of isolated grains. Before pupation the larva leaves the mine through a semicircular exit slit in the lower epidermis (Bladmineerders van Europa) The mine is also described and illustrated in British leafminers. Mines of Phytomyza chaerophylli on Anthriscus sylvestris. Images: Brian Pitkin Larva: The larva is described by Allen (1957b, as anthrisci, conopodii, tordylii) and de Meijere (1926, as anthrisci) and Ellis (Bladmineerders van Europa). posterior spiracles with 16-22 bulbs. Puparium: The puparium is illustrated by Ellis (Bladmineerders van Europa). Shining black; posterior spiracles each with 16-20 bulbs (Spencer, 1976: 402).
