This Australian genus was erected for the reception of a female 
having 16 stemmed antennal segments and 4 palpal segments. Like 
Haplusia, the third vein unites with the margin well beyond the 
apex and is joined to subcosta by a long distinct crossvein; the 
fifth vein is simple, uniting with the posterior margin near the 
basal half. The type species, C. bella Skuse, is characterized 
as having almost pyriform flagellar segments, the stem being nearly — 
as long as the basal enlargement, the latter with numerous whorls 
of hairs, the basal whorl much longer than the rest.

The female of this Australian genus has the antennae about half 
the length of the body. There are 14 segments, each with a stem 
one-half the length of the subcylindric basal enlargement, which 
latter has 2 sparse whorls of hairs. Palpi quadriarticulate. The 
illustration shows the wing to be rather broad, subcosta uniting 
with costa well before the basal half, a distinct, somewhat oblique 
crossvein, the third a little beyond the apex, while the simple fifth 
joins the posterior margin near the basal half. This genus appears 
to be closely related to Johnsonomyia Felt. The 2 genera agree 
in major characters and it is possible that further study may prove 
our American forms cogeneric with this Australian species. Type

This genus may be recognized by the 3 long veins and the finely 
haired membrane of the acuminate wings, in connection with the 
5 tarsal segments, the metatarsus being shorter than the preceding. 
It is separated from Leptosyna Kieff. by the triarticulate palpi.
