Insect herbivory on Catula gettyi gen. et sp. nov. (Lauraceae) from the Kaiparowits Formation (Late Cretaceous, Utah, USA)

New leaf mine damage type on Catula gettyi.
DT332 includes a range of leaf mine shapes, including (A) roughly circular mines with serpentine trajectories visible within the mine (DMNH 39726), close up of mines outlined (B, D); (E) leaf mines with a circular chamber and no evident serpentine trails (DMNH 41587); (C) a linear phase followed by a solid, circular chamber (DMNH 47126), (F) (DMNH 39737), close up of mine outlined (G,I) (DMNH 41597); and (H) (DMNH 41597), (J) (DMNH 41597) mines with linear trajectories. Differences in mine form are likely attributable to the number of instars completed by each individual. These mines are typically found along the margin of C. gettyi leaves. Black scale bars = 5 mm; white scale bars = 1 mm.
