Leaf-mine: A gallery following the leaf-edge (British
leafminers).
Egg
generally at the upperside of the leaf, on a vein. The mine is a
short corridor, no longer than 3 cm. Its first part is narrow and
tends to follow a vein. The second part is rather tortuous and considerably
widened, and often forms a secondary blotch. Generally only one
mine in a leaf. Mines cannot reliably been distinguished from those
of anomalella and centifoliella (Bladmineerders
van Europa).
Larva:
Amber yellow, head brown (whereas aenofasciella
is a pale watery yellow) (British
leafminers).
Dark
yellow; the larva lacks a field of spinules at he rear of the pronotum,
and on the mesosternum spinulation does not only occur on the rudiment
of the foot, but also in two field obliquely in front. See Gustafsson
and van Nieukerken (1990a) for a description (Bladmineerders
van Europa).
Pupa:
Details unknown.
Adult:
Not illustrated in UKMoths (check for update). The genitalia are not illustrated by the Lepidoptera
Dissection Group (check for update).

Distribution
in Great Britain and Ireland: Britain including Bedfordshire,
East Sutherland, Hertfordshire, North Hampshire and South Wiltshire
(NBN
Gateway - N.B. includes Watsonian Vice Counties having publicly
available records that fall within or overlap the vice county border
at 10km resolution or better i.e. a record for a vice county may
relate to an adjacent vice county - for included datasets see NBN
Grid map below). See also British
leafminers distribution map.
Also
recorded in the Republic of Ireland (Karsholt and van Nieukerken
in Fauna
Europaea).

Distribution
elsewhere: Widespread in continental Europe including Austria,
? Corsica, Czech Republic, Danish mainland, Estonia, Finland, French
mainland, Germany, Hungary, Italian mainland, Latvia, Lithuania,
Norwegian mainland, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland,
The Netherlands and Ukraine (Karsholt and van Nieukerken in Fauna
