Leaf-miner:
A small primary upper surface blotch (Spencer,
1976: 251).
Primary
upper-surface blotch. 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.
Posterior spiracles each with about 8 bulbs (Spencer,
1976: 251).
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).

Distribution
in Great Britain and Ireland: Widespread in Britain, including
Denbighshire (Cefn-y-bedd), London (Hampstead), Somerset (Cheddar), Derbyshire
(Miller's Dale) (Spencer, 1972b:
57) and Warwickshire (Keresley) (Robbins,
1991: 123); North Somerset (NBN
Atlas).
Leaf
mines probably referable to this species also seen at Kent (Dungeness)
(Spencer, 1972b: 57). Distribution
elsewhere: Widespread in continental Europe including Finland,
Norway, Sweden and Germany (Spencer,
1976: 251), The Netherlands (Bladmineerders van Europa), Czech Republic and Lithuania (Fauna Europaea).
