mine
Blotch, invariably beginning at the leaf margin, widening fast and strongly, giving the mine a funnel-like shape. Primary and secondary feeding lines very conspicuous. Frass in large grains. The larvae leaves the mine before pupation; according to Spencer (1954a) the exit slit is in the lower epidermis.
hostplants
Caprifoliaceae, monophagous
Dipsacus fullonum, pilosus.
phenology
Larvae in May-June, in a single generation (Hering, 1957a).
BENELUX
BE recorded (Ellis).
NE recorded (Wouter Bosgra, 2014).
LUX not recorded (Fauna Europaea, 2007).
distribution within Europe
From the UK to France and Hungary (Fauna Europaea, 2007).
larva
Rear spiraculum witth about 40 papillae (Groschke, 1957a; Hering, 1957a).
notes
De Meijere (1926a) described a larva of an unidentified Agromyza, bred from Knautia. Later (1928a) he wrote he had managed to identify the species as A. dipsaci. This is not correct: the species in question is A. woerzi.
