Plant Parasites of Europe

leafminers, galls and fungi

Calosirus terminatus

Calosirus terminatus (Herbst, 1795)

on Apiaceae

gall

The larvae tunnel in the petioles and stems, sometimes also in the root crown. Occasionally this seems to result in a gall. Pupation in the soil.

Robbins writes that sometimes the larva makes a full depth mine in a lower leaf, starting from the petiole; Hering denies this.
