(1♁).
Host.
Asteraceae
:
Doellingeria umbellata
(Mill.) Nees.
Leaf mine.
Whitish, upper surface, narrow, entirely linear; frass in closely spaced grains or beaded strips along the sides (
Eiseman & Lonsdale 2018
).
Puparium.
Blackish; formed outside the mine.
Phenology and voltinism.
This species is at least bivoltine, with larvae feeding in early June in
Massachusetts
emerging as adults within a few weeks; in
Maine
, larvae have been found in late August, with adults emerging the following spring.
Distribution.
USA
: *MA, ME.
Comments.
Phytomyza solidaginivora
Spencer
has been reared from larvae forming similar mines on
Doellingeria umbellata
in mid-June in
Maine
(
Eiseman & Lonsdale 2018
); it therefore appears that phenology is not useful in distinguishing mines of the two species.
