Leaf mine.
(
Fig. 148
) On
Comandra
, the mine is whitish to greenish, visible on both leaf surfaces; to some degree interparenchymal. The mine is initially linear or irregularly serpentine, becoming more or less blotchlike when complete. Frass is in sparse, discrete grains. In one example the initial linear portion was primarily on the upper surface but the final blotch (including all visible frass) was more visible on the lower surface.
Puparium.
Yellow-orange; formed outside the mine.
