 Material examined: Ukraine: Vinnytsa Region: Olhopil, 48°07’42”N, 29°39’25”E, 10.v.2019, Yu. Guglya (1♂); Poltava Region: Hlobino, 49°23’39”N, 33°14’22”E, 6–10.viii.2019, Yu. Guglya, ex Cicer arietinum (20♂ 23♀); near Shushvalivka, 49°20’56”N, 32°54’25”E, 14.viii.2018, A. Gumovsky (32♂ 52♀).   
 Hosts. Fabaceae: Cicer arietinum L., Ononis arvensis L., O. repens L., O. spinosa L., Anthyllis L., Melilotus Mill. (Papp & Černý 2017), Coronilla L., Hymenocarpos Savi, Medicago L. (Warrington 2021).   
 Mine. (Fig. 143) The solitary larva forms a yellow irregular linear-blotch mine. Pupation takes place outside the mine.   
 Puparium. (Figs. 144–146) Yellow, translucent, glossy, 2.0 mm long, with distinct segmentation; surface quite smooth except for wide spine bands. Posterior spiracles set on wide and short conical protuberances that are entirely separate; brown, with eight to ten sessile bulbs arranged in semicircle. Anal plate brown, protruding above the surface of the puparium viewed from the side and directed ventrally.   
 Cephalopharyngeal skeleton. (Fig. 475) Right mouthhook much larger than the left, each bearing two accessory teeth. Intermediate sclerite widening posteriorly, 1.18× as long as maximum height of left mouthhook. Parastomal bar exist, slightly curved dorso-anteriorly. The mouthhook, intermediate sclerite dorso-anteriorly and dorsal portion of the dorsal cornu are strongly sclerotized; the intermediate sclerite ventro-posteriorly, dorsal cornu ventrally and ventral cornu are much less so. Indentation index 87.   
 Female head. (Figs. 476, 477) Yellowish-orange, with palpus, orbit along the eye with areolae of fr s and orb s, pedicel, pped, arista, postgena and hind margin of eye dorsally brown; oc tr black; orbit projecting above eye in profile, 2 orb s, 2 fr s; lunule low, semicircular, reaching the level of the posterior fr s; pped of medium size, rounded; gena medially 0.3× as high as maximum height of eye.   
 Thorax viewed from the side. (Fig. 478) Yellow, with prepst, anapist medially, most of kepst and mr black; pprn dorsally, anepist posteriorly, anepm medially, mtkepst and anatg are blackish. Calypter dirty yellow, margin and fringe dirty yellow to grey. Cx 1 in proximal half, cx 2 and cx 3 blackish.   
 Female genitalia. (Figs. 479, 480) Capsule of spermatheca is of medium size, 0.34× as high as height of anterior part of oviscape. Spermathecae equal in size, dark brown, spherical, slightly acute and less sclerotized basally. Spermathecal duct weakly sclerotized.
