Hosts.
Asteraceae
:
Encelia californica
Nutt.
(adults common on this host but no mines found (Spencer 1981;
Spencer & Steyskal 1986
)),
E. farinosa
A. Gray ex Torr.
,
Helianthus annuus
L. (
Gates
et al.
2002
).
Leaf mine.
(
Fig. 38
) The mines from which we reared this species on
Encelia farinosa
were pale green without evident frass; vacated mines became brownish with a narrow whitish margin. They were initially linear, gradually widening to a blotch that later partly or mostly obliterated the linear portion. The larva exited through a crescentshaped slit in the upper epidermis.
Gates
et al
. (2002)
classified the mine on
E. farinosa
as “upper surface serpentine/blotch,” in agreement with our observations, but characterized the mine on
Helianthus annuus
as “upper surface serpentine.”
Puparium.
