Leaf miners of Europe - this site is designed to assist identification of various taxa by giving a written description and, where available, photographs of the mine, larvae and foodplants utilised in Europe.  The Gelechiidae that do produce leaf mines need to be searched for by genus or larval foodplant.  Those larva and/or leaf mines illustrated on the site are denoted by an asterisk alongside the species name and are of good quality.  The combination of text (repeated in English) and photos make this site well worth checking out.

Leaf miners of Belgium - this site covers the Lepidopteran leafminers from Belgium, with lots of pictures and the possibility to search by family, by plant or by kind of mine.
