spp. in Europe.
Spencer & Steyskal (1986)
listed this species as feeding on
C. crus-corvi
Shuttlw. ex Kunze, but this was apparently in error since they indicated elsewhere that reared specimens are unknown in
North
America.
Leaf mine.
(
Fig. 130
)
A
long, whitish corridor, changing direction a few times, with frass in a single blackish lump toward the leaf apex.
Puparium.
(
Fig. 27
) Yellowish or reddish to blackish-brown; formed within the mine (
Spencer & Steyskal 1986
), glued to the floor toward the base of the leaf.
Distribution.
USA
: CA, *MA, MT;
Spencer & Steyskal (1986)
note that
Frick’s (1959)
records of IL, IN, MD and SD require verification; Europe.
