Material examined. Ukraine: Transcarpathia: 5 km N Kvasy, 1200 m a. s. l., 48°09'21"N, 24°20'19"E, 13.viii.2021 —mines with puparia collected, 23.viii.2021 —imago, Yu. Guglya, ex Primula sp. (1♀); same locality, 18 & 19.viii.2019 —numerous mines with puparia collected, Yu. Guglya, ex Primula sp. (6 puparia); Ivano-Frankivsk Region: near Zarosliak, 1400 m a. s. l., 48°10'10"N, 24°31'24"E, 17.viii.2021 —mines with puparia collected, Yu. Guglya, ex Primula sp. (2 puparia).
Hosts. Primulaceae : Primula bulleyana Forrest , P. elatior (L.) Hill, P. farinosa L., P. veris L., P. vulgaris Huds. ( Papp & Černý 2019) .
Mine. ( Fig. 38 View FIGURES 33–40 ) The larva forms a white upper surface linear mine with widely separated grains of frass. When several larva feed in one leaf, mines can unite and appear as a single blotch mine. Pupation takes place within the mine on the lower leaf surface, with anterior spiracles stretching through the leaf cuticle.
Puparium. ( Figs. 39, 40 View FIGURES 33–40 ) Orange with anterior and posterior spiracles, are black, glossy; 2.5 mm long, with shallow but distinct segmentation; surface smooth except for the wide wrinkled spine bands. Posterior spiracles two-horned, divergent latero-posteriorly, set on stout high separated conical protuberances. Anal plate distinctly protruding above the surface of the puparium viewed from the side; directed ventro-posteriorly.
Cephalopharingeal skeleton. ( Fig. 184 View FIGURES 181–187 ) Right mouthhook larger dorsally than the left, both with ventro-anterior portion acute and abducted ventrally. Both mouthhooks bear two wide accessory teeth; all sharp, uniformly curved ventrally. Mouthhooks and intermediate sclerite are strongly sclerotized, dorsal and ventral cornua much less so. Intermediate sclerite straight, slightly widening posteriorly, with finger-shaped appendage located ventro-posteriorly. Dorsal and ventral cornua equal in width. Ventral cornu bears “closed” window medially. Indentation index 82.
Female head. ( Figs. 181, 182 View FIGURES 181–187 ) Black, except pale brown gena and fronto-orbital plate and yellow labellum, with fronto-orbital plate visible laterally; 2 ors, 1 ori; 1 st fl small, oval, covered with bright pubescence directed dorsally. Gena wider at rear, 0.45× as wide as maximum height of eye. Vibrissa and gn s equal in length, long and strong, 0.54× as long as maximum height of eye.
Wing. ( Fig. 183 View FIGURES 181–187 ) Hyaline, with greyish undertone; veins brownish; costa reaching R 3+4; second cross vein absent; calypter, margin and fringe beige. Wing length 2.0 mm.
Female genitalia. ( Figs. 185–187 View FIGURES 181–187 ) Proctiger cylindrical. Pair of long setae located on posterior margin between cerci. Cercus oval, wider apically and narrower basally, 0.3× as long as length of proctiger; medium and short setae located apically. Ventral receptacle S-shaped, with flattened capsule, short, straight narrow basal connecting tube and massive tail.
Distribution. Bulgaria ( Beiger 1980), Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Montenegro, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain incl. Canary Islands, Sweden, Switzerland ( Papp & Černý 2019). Ukraine (first record).
