It produces an irregular fleshy oval deformation apparently composed 
of appressed thickened bud scales, with a length of to mm and a 
diameter of 6 mm. The gall hardens with age. The female is 
noteworthy because of the thick tuft of long, silky, yellowish white 
hairs at the base of the ovipositor.

This Argentine genus is allied to Monarthropalpus Rubs. 
by the uniarticulate palpi, though it is easily distinguished by there 
being but thirteen antennal segments in the female, the third and 
fourth being fused. The basal and distal nodes of the flagellate 
antennal segments of the male are globose and ovoid respectively, 
the dorsal and ventral plates are bilobed and the ovipositor is stout, 
chitinous and needlelike. Type C. longipennis Kieff. & Jorg.

The midge provisionally referred to this genus was reared in April 
1912, from hairy, irregularly clustered leaf galls on Eugenia 
buxifolia collected by DrE.A.Schwarz at Key West. The galls 
are irregularly spherical or somewhat elongate, monothalamous, with 
a diameter of about 1.5 mm, moderately thick walls and are clothed 
externally with long, crinkly, yellowish or reddish brown hairs. The 
transformations occur within the galls.

This genus is easily separated from all other American trifili 
having uniarticulate palpi by the distinctly black and yellow-marked 
wings. The circumfila are well developed, the mesonotum is normal, 
the pulvilli rudimentary and the genitalia peculiar. The type isfAy 
speciosa Felt.
