Agromyza filipendulae

The larvae mine the leaves of various plants including Meadowsweet and related species in the Rosaceae family. The mine is a long linear mine, never widening into a blotch at the end. Frass occurs in discrete grains. 

See the National Agromyzidae Recording Scheme website for further details of larva, adult insect and host plants

The early mines of Agromyza idaeiana and Agromyza sulfuriceps are similar; only record completed mines.
