It produces an irregular fleshy oval deformation apparently composed 

 of appressed thickened bud scales, with a length of lo 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 

 b u X i f o 1 i a collected by Dr E. 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 mesonottmi is normal, 

 the pulvilli rudimentary and the genitalia peculiar. The type is A. 

 speciosa Felt.
