—a newly recorded host plant.
Mine.
(
Fig. 159
) The solitary larva forms a yellowish and brown blotch leaf mine. Pupation takes place outside the mine.
Puparium.
(
Figs. 160–162
) Yellow, translucent, glossy,
2.2 mm
long, with distinct segmentation; surface quite smooth except for narrow spine bands. Posterior spiracles set on stout conical protuberances that are entirely separate; brown, with numerous minute sessile bulbs in an 8-shaped arrangement. Anal plate brown, not protruding above the surface of the puparium viewed from the side and directed ventrally.
Cephalopharyngeal skeleton.
(
Fig. 493
) Right mouthhook larger than the left, each with rounded abducted portion directed ventrally and bearing two accessory teeth. Intermediate sclerite massive, 1.07× as long as maximum height of left mouthhook. The mouthhook and the intermediate sclerite ventro-anteriorly are strongly sclerotized, the rest of the sclerites much less so. Indentation index 91.
Female head.
(
Figs. 494, 495
) Head bright yellow to orange, with only arista, oc tr and postgena posteriorly black; orbit not projecting above eye in profile, 2 orb s, 2 fr s and lunule of medium height, narrowing posteriorly, reaching the level of the anterior fr s; pped large, rounded; gena medially 0.28× as high as maximum height of eye.
Thorax viewed from the side.
(
Fig. 496
) Mostly bright yellow, with kepst in ventral two-thirds black; pprn dorsally, anepist medially, anepm medially and mr ventro-posteriorly are blackish. Calypter ditry-yellow, with margin and fringe black.
Female genitalia.
(
Figs. 497, 498
) Capsule of spermatheca relatively small, 0.16× as high as height of anterior part of oviscape. Spermathecae equal in size, dark brown, spherical, flattened basally, with wide, plate-shaped basal collar. Neck of spermatheca 0.5× as wide as width of spermathecal duct. Spermathecal duct weakly sclerotized.
