\n<\/p>\n

mine<\/h3>\n

Circular, lower-surface blotch, about 5 mm in diameter, often quite a number together on a leaf. Upper surface wart-like, strongly reddish discoloured, opaque. At the lower surface the mine is closed only by the epidermis. The larva is easily visible, as is its food: drops of liquid that result from external digestion. Pupation outside the mine.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

hostplants<\/h3>\n

Asteraceae, monofaag<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Taraxacum<\/a> campylodes, officinale.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Mirumian (2011a) mentions this species from Lactuca<\/a> orientalis<\/em>; given the very narrow host plant preference in the genus Cystiphora<\/em>, further confirmations seems mandatory.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

phenology<\/h3>\n

Larvae from July on (Hering, 1957a); two or more generations (Skuhrav\u00e1, Skuhrav\u00fd & J\u00f8rgensen, 2006a).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

BENELUX<\/h3>\n

BE recorded (Gosseries, 1991c).<\/p>\n

NE recorded (de Meijere, 1939a).<\/p>\n

LUX recorded (Lambinon, Schneider & Feitz, 2001b).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

distribution within Europe<\/h3>\n

From the Netherlands, Germany and Poland to the Pyrenees, Italy and Roumania; also Latvia and Ireland, not in the UK (Fauna Europaea, 2007a); also Bulgaria (Buhr, 1941b) and Slovenia (Ma\u010dek (1999a).<\/p>\n

The biology of Cystiphora<\/em> species forms a transition between the mining and galling ways of life.<\/p>\n
