leaf (live) live leaf is mined by larva Hydronomus alismatis - a weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Minor Robbins, R., 1990 [a largeish full-depth brownish blotch, but may make a number of small mines that resemble short, broad, corridors.]
leaf (live) live leaf is mined by larva Hydrellia mutata - a shore fly (Diptera: Ephydridae) UK/Ireland Robbins, R., 1990 [commonly a number of short broad spurs from the midrib. Pupariates internally in midrib.]
