( Figs. 75–77 View FIGURES 75–83 , 388–392 View FIGURES 383–392 )

Material examined: Ukraine: Kharkiv Region: near Petrivske , 49°10’N, 36°58’E, 27, 30.vi.2019, Yu. Guglya, ex Phragmites australis (2♀) GoogleMaps .

Hosts. Poaceae : Arundo donax L., Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin ex Steud. ( Papp & Černý 2016) .

Mine. Two larvae feed together in one blotch mine. Pupation takes place within the mine.

Puparium. ( Figs. 75–77 View FIGURES 75–83 ) Yellowish-orange, glossy, 3.2 mm long, with weak segmentation. The surface of all segments except the last two is quite smooth except for narrow spine bands; last two segments wrinkled. Posterior spiracles set on stout protuberances that are entirely separate; brown, fan-shaped, with up to twenty sessile bulbs arranged in irregular group. Anal plate slightly protruding above the surface of the puparium viewed from the side and directed ventro-posteriorly.

Cephalopharyngeal skeleton. ( Fig. 388 View FIGURES 383–392 ) Right mouthhook larger than the left, both with sharp abducted portion directed ventrally. Each mouthhook bears two accessory teeth. Intermediate sclerite long, narrow, 1.75× as long as height of left mouthhook. The mouthhook, intermediate sclerite and anterior portion of the pharyngeal sclerite are strongly sclerotized, dorsal and ventral cornua are much less so. Indentation index 77. See also in Nowakowski (1956: Fig. 183 View FIGURES 176–184 ).

Female head. ( Figs. 389, 390 View FIGURES 383–392 ) Yellow, with only oc tr, pped and arista black; pped with finger-like abducted anterodorsal process; 2 orb s, 1 fr s, lunule lunule narrow, higher than a semicircle, reaching the level between fr s and the anterior orb s.

Female thorax. ( Fig. 391 View FIGURES 383–392 ) Bicolor, yellow and black: presutular area of sct almost black, postsutular area black only laterally, area between dc s yellow. Sctl black laterally, with ds sctl s on black ground and ap sct s on yellow ground.

Female genitalia. ( Fig. 392 View FIGURES 383–392 ) Spermathecae equal in size, brown, spherical and flattened basally, with narrow rim-shaped basal collar.
