Leaf mine.
(
Fig. 219
) Upper surface, whitish with brown discoloration along middle of channel; irregular, branching, centered on midrib, at base of leaf. Feeding lines evident in later portions. Frass in dark, widely scattered grains.
Puparium.
(
Fig. 62
) Brown, with a broad, dark, central stripe on the ventral surface; formed within the mine with its anterior spiracles projecting through the upper epidermis.
Comments.
This appears unlikely to be any of the four known
North
American
Lonicera
-feeding
Phytomyza
species, three of which were covered by
Griffiths (1974a)
and one of which is described as new in this paper. Larvae of
P. chamaemetabola
(Griffiths)
exit their mines to pupate. The other species all pupate internally, but
P. nigrilineata
(Griffiths)
and
P. sempervirentis
both have white puparia in addition to depositing the frass particles much more closely, partly forming beaded strips. The mine of
P. gregaria
Frick
is similarly based on the midrib, but the larvae are gregarious and
Griffiths (1974a)
made no mention of a dark stripe on the puparium.
