Hosts. Crassulaceae : Cotyledon Toum. ex L., Sedum L. ( Benavent-Corai et al. 2005). Hylotelephium telephium (L.) H. Ohba—a newly recorded host plant.

Mine. ( Figs. 265 View FIGURES 261–269 ) The solitary larva forms a reddish-yellow irregular linear upper surface leaf mine. Normally several larvae develop in one leaf. Pupation takes place within the mine on the underside of the leaf, in a “pupal blister” ( Fig. 266 View FIGURES 261–269 ).

Puparium. ( Figs. 267–269 View FIGURES 261–269 ) Greyish-brown, glossy, 2.5 mm long, with deep segmentation; surface finely wrinkled except for bands of narrow fine spines. Posterior spiracles set on stout conical protuberances that are entirely separate; black, glossy, with minute spherical sessile bulbs arranged in open ring. Anal plate yellow, distinctly protruding above the surface of the puparium viewed from the side and directed ventro-posteriorly.

Cephalopharyngeal skeleton. ( Fig. 646 View FIGURES 646–651 ) Right mouthhook larger than the left, each bearing two accessory teeth. Intermediate sclerite short, with small, sharp protuberance located ventrally; sclerite 0.92× as long as maximum height of left mouthhook. The mouthhook and intermediate sclerite are strongly sclerotized and the pharyngeal sclerite is much less so. The ventral cornu bears a large, oval “closed” window located anteriorly. Indentation index 85.

Female head. ( Figs. 647, 648 View FIGURES 646–651 ) Brownish-black, with orbit near frons, frons, and gena yellowish-brown, proboscis yellow; orbit not projecting above eye in profile; 1 orb s, 2 fr s; lunule broad, semicircular, reaching the level of the anterior fr s; pped of medium size, flattened anteriorly; gena medially 0.3× as high as maximum height of eye.

Female genitalia. ( Figs. 649–651 View FIGURES 646–651 ) Capsule of spermatheca relatively small, 0.13× as high as height of anterior part of oviscape. Spermathecae equal in size, brown, flattened basally and slightly concave apically, wider than high. Internal duct invagination cylindrical, widening medially, 0.6× as deep as maximum height of spermatheca. Spermathecal duct weakly sclerotized. Ventral receptacle flattened S-shaped, with well sclerotized tail that is bowlshaped basally. Body of receptacle spherical with slightly curved basal connecting tube, strongly sclerotized, 1.15× as wide as capsule of spermatheca; with opening 0.56× as wide as diameter of spherical part of body.

Distribution. Palaearctic Region: Andorra, Austria, British Isles, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland ( Papp & Černý 2019), Slovakia ( Černý & Roháček 2020). Oriental Region ( India) ( Papp & Černý 2019), Korea ( Kwon et al. 2009). Ukraine (first record).
