whitish, dramatically widening, serpentine mine with frass in alternating, dark green, beaded strips.

Comments.
The coloration of these pale females cannot reliably associate them with known Nearctic species from
Fabaceae
, including
L. trifolii
, which has a higher gena, well-developed ori (anterior reduced in these females) and slightly different coloration across the head, thorax and abdomen.
