Hi ! In which country is it ? Which continent ?

Yes, I agree with David Gollifer. It might be a leaf miner.

I agree with Laurence. It looks like a leafminer, maybe Promecotheca. 
You need to catch larvae or adults to confirm. 
If it is Promecotheca there is no  really effective treatment (except maybe on very young palms or in nursery). We had an outbreak of this pest in Vanuatu with very significant damages a few years ago, but after one or 2 years there was a natural regulation (probably by parasitoides), and the pest disappeared as rapidly as it appeared, and all the palms recovered.

Dear all,

RE: Diagnosis of disease.

I missed initial communication on this matter.

Can I have the original post to see if I can be a help.
