Dichotomous table for leafminers
1a fleck mine, either long and narrow along the leaf margin, or more or less circular and in the leaf centre => 2

2a linear fleck mine: Bucculatrix spec.*
2b normal fleck mine in the centre of the leaf: Coleophora obviella
3a larva with thoracic feet and chitinised head => 4
3b lara a maggot => 5

4b only the young larvae mine; later they live among spun leaves: Cnephasia sedana

6b pupation external: Phytomyza kyffhusana
* According to Hering (1957a) this should be Bucculatrix fatigatella, but the description he gives of the mines does not seem to fit fatigatella.
