Hosts: E. acmenioides; E. saligna; E. pilularis. Locality: Lisarow, Notes: Oviposition occurs below the cuticle of the leaf. Larvae are cream in colour, with the segments flattened laterally; the head is brown and retractile into the prothoracic segment to the base of the mandibles.

Hosts: E. acmenioides; E. saligna; E. pilularis. Locality: Lisarow, Notes: Oviposition occurs below the cuticle of the leaf. Larvae are cream in colour, with the segments flattened laterally; the head is brown and retractile into the prothoracic segment to the base of the mandibles. They have been collected during June to early September, and those collected during June and July emerged as adults during the following March, so that a lengthy larval diapause occurs in the pupal case. Pupal exuviae are protruded from the cases as the adults emerge. Position of the mine on a leaf is variable, and there are often several mines on one leaf. The outer edges of the mine are translucent, with particles of excreta clearly visible. The centre of the mined area, which later constitutes the case in which the larva pupates, is at first filled with excreta and later covered with silk. This area is dark brown, and the outer edges of the mine are surrounded with an area of reddish-purple staining. Chalcidoid parasites which emerged by way of a small circular hole cut in the centre of the pupal case, were reared during May. "Tinea" sp. (near pcntaspila Meyrick.) Mine type: Blotch (Figure 31). Hosts: Eucalyptus sieberi L. Johnson. Locality: Blackheath, Notes: Position of the mine on a leaf is variable, and more than one may occur on the same leaf. Mines are at first red-brown, then dark grey-brown in a later stage of construction. The early mine is filled with.
