2a final part of the mine strongly widened, blotch-like : Agromyza reptans**
2b a corridor from start to end => 3
3a pupation in the mine, in a, usually lower-surface, pupal chamber; first part of the corridor never spiralled: Chromatomyia horticola
3b pupation outside the mine; first part of the corridor in a dense spiral, unless the mine happens to start in a leaf tip: Liriomyza cannabis
**This species is included in the key on the basis of relatively old information, in particular Hering (1957a). In Hering’s time it was not known that the name A. reptans included also A. pseudoreptans. See the key for Urtica< for the difference between the two species.
