Plant note:

The mine of first two instars narrow, slightly serpentine increasing in width. In the second leaflet it builds a blotch-type mine, feeding downwards into the lamina, until the completion of development in the fifth instar (Moreira et al. 2017:13). The fifth-instar larva leaves the mine, through a slit made in the blotch section, for pupation (Moreira et al. 2017: 71)
