Key for the identification of the known mines of British
insects (Diptera and non-Diptera) recorded on Pedicularis

1a > Leaf-miner: Upper-surface blotch. Puparium formed within the mine, brown.. |
On Pedicularis palustris and Pedicularis sylvatica in Britain and elsewhere. Recorded as new to Britain and Scandinavia
and new to Scotland. Europe including Germany, Norwegian mainland
and Sweden.

Phytomyza
pedicularifolii Hering, 1960 [Diptera: Agromyzidae]. |
1b > Leaf-miner: Rather
long full depth corridor that winds freely through the leaf and
may cross itself. In the end the corridor widens considerably. Frass
mostly in a narrow central line, but may also be deposited along
the sides or be missing. The larvae regular leave a mine to restart
elsewhere. Pupation outside the mine. Neither larva or mine can
be distinguished from that of related species. |

Polyphagous. On numerous genera and species in several plant families, but
not yet on Pedicularis in Britain. On numerous genera and species in several plant families, including Pedicularis elsewhere. Widespread in Britain and continental Europe.
