Leaf-miner: Deep
mine, broadened irregularly. Pupation external (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.
Mandibles with two teeth; anterior spiracles each with about 18
bulbs.
Below the mandibles no field with spiny warts. Front spiracles bifid, about 18 bulbs. Rear spiracula rather strongly approaching, with 3 bulbs. Mandibles with 2, not alternating, teeth (Bladmineerders van Europa).
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).
Reddish-brown to black; posterior spiracular processes widely separated
(Spencer, 1976: 103).
