Leaf-miner: Larva
forms an upper surface primary blotch with several larvae feeding
together; the blotch is greenish when fresh but becomes yellowish
with age (Spencer, 1972b:
78 (fig. 257); Spencer, 1976:
376, 377 (fig. 655)).
Round or oval blotch, green at first, later yellowish. Young mine are interparenchymatous, only the older mines are truly full depth. Generally several larvae in a communal mine. Pupation outside the mine. Exit slit in lower epidermis (Bladmineerders van Europa).
A conspicuous, yellowish, almost circular upper surface blotch. Normally several mines on a leaf which may run together giving the impression of a single mine (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 Allen (1956,
1957b), Griffiths (1973c),
de Meijere (1926) and illustrated in Bladmineerders van Europa ; posterior spiracles with approx. 20 bulbs.
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).
Black; each side of the anus has a distinct conical projection;
posterior spiracles each having an ellipse of some 20 minute bulbs
or bulbs (Spencer, 1976:
376). Illustrated in Bladmineerders van Europa.
