Leaf-mine: The first instar larva forms a shallow winding linear mine on the underside of the leaf, later forming a broad upper surface mine (Spencer, 1976: 436); initially frass in a narrow central line which after the larva moves to the upperside of the leaf is in irregular black lumps (Nederlandse bladmineerders). Pupation internal (Spencer, 1976: 436). Larva: Details unknown. Puparium: The puparium is described by de Meijere (1928 and 1938a). Yellowish; posterior spiracles each with 13-16 bulbs (Spencer, 1976: 436).
