(Figs. 53–57, 383–387)  
 Material examined: Ukraine: Transcarpathia: Nova Stuzhytsa, Uzhanskyi National Park, 49°02’N, 22°34’E, 26.vii.2019, Yu. Guglya, ex Eupatorium cannabinum (2♀); “Skalka”, near Uzhhorod, 48°41’N, 22°24’E, 20.ix.2016, Yu. Guglya, ex Eupatorium cannabinum (1 puparium); Sumy Region: Vakalivshchina, 51°02’N, 34°55’E, 1.viii.2013, Yu. Guglya, ex Artemisia sp. (1♂); Kharkiv Region: near Petrivske, 49°10’N, 36°58’E, 16.vi.2019, Yu. Guglya, ex Artemisia vulgaris (2 puparia); same locality, 15, 16.vii.2020, Yu. Guglya, ex Artemisia vulgaris (2♀); same locality, 20.vii.2020, Yu. Guglya, ex Artemisia vulgaris (1♂).   
 Hosts. Asteraceae: Ageratina Spach, Artemisia L., Eupatorium L. (Benavent-Corai et al. 2005), Achillea L., Chromolaena DC. (Warrington 2021).   
 Mine. (Figs. 53, 54) The solitary larva develops in a white blotch blister mine. Pupation takes place outside the mine in the soil.   
 Puparium. (Figs. 55–57) Brownish-orange, semi-glossy, 2.3 mm long, with deep segmentation; finely wrinkled except for wide spine bands. Posterior spiracles set on stout conical protuberances entirely joining towards their bases; with three hook-like sessile bulbs set in a circular configuration at acute angles to each other. Anal plate protruding above the surface of the puparium viewed from the side and directed ventro-posteriorly. Two long, conical, black appendages, thickly covered with spines, developed on the sides of the anal plate viewed from the side.   
 Cephalopharyngeal skeleton. (Fig. 383) Right mouthhook much larger than the left, each rounded ventrally and bearing two accessory teeth. Intermediate sclerite narrow and long, with long, sharp finger-like process directed ventro-posteriorly; sclerite 2.52× as long as maximum height of left mouthhook. The pharyngeal sclerite bears a large drop-like “closed” window anteriorly. The mouthhook, most of the intermediate sclerite and anterior portion of the pharyngeal sclerite around the “closed” window are strongly sclerotized; the intermediate sclerite dorso-posteriorly and the dorsal and ventral cornua are much less so. Indentation index 77. See also in Sasakawa (1961: Fig. 61 l).   
 Female head. (Figs. 384, 385) Bright yellow, with antenna, palpus, oc tr medially and postgena black; orbit not projecting above eye in profile, 2 orb s, 2 fr s; lunule low, semicircular, not reaching the level of the anterior fr s; pped of medium size, slightly longer than high, with long yellowish pubescence; gena medially 0.24× as high as maximum height of eye.   
 Female genitalia. (Figs. 386, 387) Proctiger relatively narrow, 3× as long as the maximum width; cylindrical in posterior half and dramatically narrowing anteriorly. Surface of proctiger covered with sparse fine spines. Posterior margin of proctiger slightly concave medially, with bevelled corners laterally; cercus relatively wide, oval and sometimes folded apically. Spermathecae equal in size, dark brown, spherical, sometimes invaginated laterally; without basal collar. Spermathecal duct finely corrugated and weakly sclerotized.   
 Distribution. Widespread species known from about 20 European countries (Papp & Černý 2017). Ukraine (first record).
