Hylotelephium telephium

Mine.
(
Figs. 265
) The solitary larva forms a reddish-yellow irregular linear upper surface leaf mine. Normally several larvae develop in one leaf. Pupation takes place within the mine on the underside of the leaf, in a “pupal blister” (
Fig. 266
).
Puparium.
(
Figs. 267–269
) Greyish-brown, glossy,
2.5 mm
long, with deep segmentation; surface finely wrinkled except for bands of narrow fine spines. Posterior spiracles set on stout conical protuberances that are entirely separate; black, glossy, with minute spherical sessile bulbs arranged in open ring. Anal plate yellow, distinctly protruding above the surface of the puparium viewed from the side and directed ventro-posteriorly.
Cephalopharyngeal skeleton.
(
Fig. 646
) Right mouthhook larger than the left, each bearing two accessory teeth. Intermediate sclerite short, with small, sharp protuberance located ventrally; sclerite 0.92× as long as maximum height of left mouthhook. The mouthhook and intermediate sclerite are strongly sclerotized and the pharyngeal sclerite is much less so. The ventral cornu bears a large, oval “closed” window located anteriorly. Indentation index 85.
Female head.
(
Figs. 647, 648
) Brownish-black, with orbit near frons, frons, and gena yellowish-brown, proboscis yellow; orbit not projecting above eye in profile; 1 orb s, 2 fr s; lunule broad, semicircular, reaching the level of the anterior fr s; pped of medium size, flattened anteriorly; gena medially 0.3× as high as maximum height of eye.
Female genitalia.
(
Figs. 649–651
) Capsule of spermatheca relatively small, 0.13× as high as height of anterior part of oviscape. Spermathecae equal in size, brown, flattened basally and slightly concave apically, wider than high. Internal duct invagination cylindrical, widening medially, 0.6× as deep as maximum height of spermatheca. Spermathecal duct weakly sclerotized. Ventral receptacle flattened S-shaped, with well sclerotized tail that is bowlshaped basally. Body of receptacle spherical with slightly curved basal connecting tube, strongly sclerotized, 1.15× as wide as capsule of spermatheca; with opening 0.56× as wide as diameter of spherical part of body.
