Leaf-miner: A narrow whitish linear mine, running down the leaf from the apex,
with frass in two rows of separate grains. Pupation external (Spencer,
1976: 246).
Narrow
corridor from start to end, whitish, uppper- or lower-surface, genarally
running downwards. Mine often along the leaf margin. Frass in distict
grains of regular size, alternating along the sides of the corridor.
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.
The larva is 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).
Orange-yellow to reddish; posterior spiracles each with 3 bulbs,
one conspicuously elongated (Spencer,
1976: 246).
