collected since September 2010 in several sites of two Italian regions (Campania
and Lazio). Th ree generations × year were recorded. Th e leafminer overwintered as
mature larva. Th e fi rst adults emerged in May-June while mature larvae of the last
generation started the overwintering in September. At the last generation of the year
100% of infested leaves were recorded in all sampled localities. Several species of parasitoids
were reared from infested mines.
