Phytomyza aurei Hering, 1931

mine

Corridor; according to Hering (1931f, 1957a) this forms a secondary blotch, but (1971b) believes this rather concerned a mine of Ph. chaerophylli.

hostplants

Apiaceae, oligophagous

Chaerophyllum aromaticum, aureum, hirsutum; Conium maculatum.

phenology

Larvae in June – July (Hering (1957a).

BENELUX

Not known from the Benelux countries (Fauna Europaea, 2009).

distribution within Europe

From Lituania to Switzerland, and from Germany to Slovakia (Fauna Europaea, 2009).

notes

Because larva and puparium are unknown, and the mine probably cannot be distinguished from the one of Ph. chaerophylli (Spencer, 1971b), this species for the time being can only be identified by breeding.
