Leaf-miner: Initially
a linear mine which later develops into a conspicuous blotch; frass
in two rows in linear section, scattered irregularly in the blotch
(Spencer, 1976: 134-5, fig.
237, as potentillae).
Corridor,
gradually and considerably widening towards the end. Frass in two
rows in the corridor part, further up dispersed irregularly. Pupation
outside the mine (Bladmineerders van Europa).
A short broad upper surface corridor leading to a long blotch between veins (British
leafminers).
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 Hering (1954) and illustrated in Bladmineerders van Europa. Larval mandibles with two teeth (Spencer,
1976: 135, fig. 238).
Hosts
elsewhere:
Time
of year - mines: June and August (Bladmineerders van Europa).
Time
of year - adults: Currently unknown.
Distribution
in Great Britain and Ireland: Widespread in Britain including
Cambridgeshire (Chippenham Fen), Huntingdonshire (Woodwalton Fen), Oxfordshire
(Hogley) (Spencer, 1972b:
38), Warwickshire (Binley) (Robbins,
1991: 135), Buckinghamshire, East Ross, Glamorgan and Monmouthshire (NBN
Atlas). Distribution
elsewhere: Widespread in continental Europe including Denmark,
Sweden, Holland, Germany, Austria, N. Italy, Poland (Spencer,
1976: 114), The Netherlands (Bladmineerders van Europa), Belgium (Scheirs
and de Bruyn, 1992), Czech Republic, Estonia, Poland and Slovakia
(Fauna Europaea).
