Cerodontha fulvipes (Meigen, 1830)

mine

The mine starts as a narrow, mostly upper-surface, sometimes lower-surface or interparenchymatous corridor that goes down to the ligula and from there descends into the leaf sheath, generally taking the inside. Usually only one mine per leaf. Pupation in the mine, in a pupal chamber at the margin of the leaf sheath.

Mine nor larva can be separated from those of C. denticornis, that lives on a much wider range of hostplants (Nowakowski, 1973a).
