Biology

The species has been recorded only from Eucalyptus amygdalina where it forms mines which are quite different from those of P. froggatti in that the larva extends the mine beyond the midrib of the leaf (Mayo et al. 1997).

Biology

Females oviposit a single egg, rarely two eggs usually near the midrib of a leaf; larvae develop in leaf mines and pupate within the mine (Froggatt 1899). The full grown larva forms a transparent cocoon and the development from larva to pupa takes about three days. The pupa has been observed to produce a distinct sound when the leaf is touched by rapping the walls of the cocoon with the tip of the abdomen (Froggatt 1901).
