Leaf-miner: A narrow, inconspicuous stem mine. Pupation at the end of the mine (Spencer, 1976: 64). Fine, upper- or lower-surface corridor, ending in a thick vein. From there the mine extends finally to the rind of the stem. There also the pupation takes place, usually not far from the root collar. Mines in the stem rind often are conspicuous through a red discoloration (Bladmineerders van Europa). Larva: The larvae of flies are leg-less maggots without a head capsule (see examples). They never have thoracic or abdominal legs. They do not have chewing mouthparts, although they do have a characteristic cephalo-pharyngeal skeleton (see examples), usually visible internally through the body wall. The larva is described by de Meijere (1937a). Puparium: The puparia of flies are formed within the hardened last larval skin or puparium and as a result sheaths enclosing head appendages, wings and legs are not visible externally (see examples). Yellowish or completely black; anterior spiracles projecting through epidermis; posterior spiracles each with 3 bulbs (Spencer, 1976: 64). Hosts in Great Britain and Ireland:
