Leaf-miner: Generally associated with mid-rib or leaf margin and relatively
long (Spencer, 1976: 243).
Upper-surface
corridor, generally descending from the tip of a leaf segment toewards
the centre along a vein or the leaf margin. Frass in strings. Pupation
outside the mine (Bladmineerders van Europa).
An upper surface gallery of moderate length, mostly alongside a vein. The corridor is long and loose, with stringy 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.
Posterior spiracles of the larva with 3 bulbs (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).
Yellow; posterior spiracles each with 3 bulbs (Spencer,
1976: 243).
