Campanulaceae

Campanula
americana
L.
Leaf mine.
(
Fig. 163
) Linear; whitish, greenish, or brownish; centered on the midrib or rarely a lateral vein.
Puparium.
Brown; formed outside the mine.
Comments.
We have found similar leaf mines in
Iowa
and
Ohio
.
Spencer (1969)
reported what was probably the same mine on
Campanula
americana
in
Ontario
, the only difference being that there were short lateral offshoots from the midrib into the leaf blade. He obtained
Liriomyza
puparia from these but was unable to rear adults. Apart from our single poor female specimen, no
North
American leafminer has been reared from
Campanula
.
