E.P.Bicknell
; a mine possibly of this species found on
T. perfoliatum
L. (
Eiseman & Lonsdale 2018
).
Leaf mine.
Variously placed on the upper surface; green to yellowish-green or whitish; in some cases linear throughout, in others widening to a more or less distinct blotch (
Eiseman & Lonsdale 2018
). On some hosts the frass tends to be regularly deposited in alternating, closely spaced particles or streaks in the narrow linear portion, but on
Symphoricarpos orbiculatus
it is indistinct or diffuse throughout.
Puparium.
Yellowish-brown to brown; formed outside the mine.
Phenology and voltinism.
Our
Oklahoma
females were collected as larvae in late April and emerged as adults the following spring; a full-year diapause was also reported by
Spencer (1969)
for a female collected as a larva in
Alberta
in early June. Otherwise, adults have emerged within a few weeks from larvae collected in
North Carolina
in April, and from
Alberta
,
Iowa
, and
Massachusetts
in June (
Eiseman & Lonsdale 2018
). Our new
Washington
specimens were collected as larvae in late September, emerging after overwintering.
