host plants
Caprifoliaceae, oligophagous
Lonicera alpigena, caerulea, caprifolium, nigra, periclymenum, rupicola, tatarica, xylosteum; Symphoricarpos albus.

synonyms
Paraphytomyza, Phytomyza hendeliana.
notes
The mine can be distinguished from that of the related A. cornigera with certainty only after the larve (or the pupa, in the rare cases that it gets stuck to the leaf). Yet, the corridor of hendeliana tends to be much narrower, and occurs later.
