Leaf-miner: A
short linear-blotch mine, beginning with a small yellowish-brown
pustule. Pupation external (Spencer,
1976: 315, 317 (fig. 569)).
Greenish,
later blackish, tortuous or irregularly star-shaped, upper-surface
corridor, rather strongly widening in the end, and usually forming
a secondary blotch. Frass in the first part of the mine in two ill-defined
rows. Primary and secondary feeding lines present, but short and
criss-cross. Pupation within the mine; the anterior spiracles penetrate
the upper epidermis (Bladmineerders van Europa).
The mine is an upper surface linear mine, becoming a blotch, with two rows of frass (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 de Meijere (1938),
Allen (1958), Dempewolf (2001:
167) and illustrated in 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).
Yellowish-brown; posterior spiracles each with an ellipse of some
20 bulbs (Spencer, 1976:
315). The puparium is illustrated in Bladmineerders van Europa.
