joined to the middle of subcosta by a straight, parallel crossvein 

 and uniting with the margin at the apex; the fifth joins the posterior 

 margin at the distal fourth, the sixth near the basal half. The 

 claws are slender, short and the pulvilli large and broad. The type 

 species, Cecidomyia longicollis H. Lw., was fixed by 

 Karsch, though seven years earlier Rondani designated C. pec 

 t o r a 1 i s Winn, as the type. The latter, however, was not before 

 Loew, when the genus was erected, and is not even congeneric. 

 Later KiefEer cites this species as the type and then in 1897 mentions 

 A. longicauda H. Lw., as the typical form. The type species, 

 namely, A. longicollis H. Lw., has 24 sessile segments in the 

 female, the male having 21 segments, the stem of the flagellate 

 segments being three-fourths the length of the basal enlargement. 

 Kieffer states that the male genitalia has the claw large and club- 

 shaped.
