2a usually a number of mines together; they do not contain silk, remain therefore totally flat: Epermenia chaerophyllella
2b mines single; some silk is deposited inside, causing them to bulge somewhat => 3
3a larva: pinacula colourless (the bases of the setae themselves are black): Cnephasia incertana
3b pinacula black: Cnephasia asseclana
2a frass in isolated grains, scattered; larva with a frontal appendage, anterior spiraculum bifid: Phytomyza chaerophylli
2b frass grains close together, partly in pearl chains; larva without a frontal appendage, anterior spiraculum compact: Phytomyza mylini
Not included in the key: Depressaria daucella.
