Leaf-miner: A primary blotch-mine, which entirely fills a leaf and usually shows some reddish colouration; frass in distinct grains (Spencer, 1972b: 41).

Oviposition in the tip of a leaflet, Primary blotch without a preceding corridor; distal half mostly a red colouration. The blotch is upper-surface with a few full depth patches, making it look spotty in transparency. Frass in groups of grains. Pupation outside the mine (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. Yellow.

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).
