Dichotomous table for leafminers

Dichotomous table for leafminers
1a mine full depth; larva with chitinised head: Orthochaetes setiger
1b mine upper- or lower-surface; larva a maggot => 2
1c gallen etc => Tabellen voor alle parasieten per soort
2a mine more or less a blotch => 3
2b mine more a, possibly branching, corridor => 4
3a broad corridor, or primary blotch, but never a secondary blotch; primary and secondary feeding lines conspicuous: Trypeta immaculata
3b broad corridor, continued into a secondary bloth; feeding lines much less conspicuous: Liriomyza taraxaci
4a corridor(s) clearly associated with the midrib => 5
4b corridor independent of the midrib => 7
5a corridor overlying the midrib, with very broad, lobe-like branches => 3a
5b branches not that broad => 6
6a mine contains hardly any frass; larva at daytime (and puparium) in the extreme base of the hollow midrib: Ophiomyia pulicaria
6b much frass, in strings; larva without a fixed place; pupation outside the mine: Liriomyza strigata
6a pupation within the leaf; the front spiracula penetrate the epidermis => 7
6b pupation outside the mine: Phytomyza aposeridis
7a corridor lower- or (mostly) upper-surface, not associated with the leaf margin: Chromatomyia cf. syngenesiae
7b corridor invariably and entirely lower-surface, following the leaf margin over a large distance: Phytomyza monori
