Female described from life. Antennae 14-jointed, about half as long 

 as the body, brown, with sparse, irregular verticils of gray hair, the 10 

 terminal joints twice^as long as broad, and pedicellate. Clypeus and 

 epicranium testaceous brown, the clypeus (hypostoma) having a few long 

 gray hairs curving over and downward. Palpi concolorous with the ends of 

 the antennae. 



Thorax shining black, with four lines of white hairs, as in C. pini 

 DeGeer ; the sides including the prothorax, reddish ; scutellum reddish 

 brown, while the trochanters are much darker, the first pair being nearly 

 black, the two posterior pairs reddish brown. Legs brown, paler beneath, 

 with gray hairs, the tarsal joints darker at the articulations, covered with 

 fine silvery hairs. 



Wings rather short and broad, with scarcely any pubescence ; fringe 

 long, veins dark brown; the subcostal (first longitudinal) vein terminates 

 at the middle of the wing (in C. salicis it terminates much beyond this 

 point);- the median vein terminates at or perhaps a little below the apex ; 

 it curves around rapidly, following the curve of the margin ; cross vein very 

 minute, very oblique, almost obsolete, situated a little below the middle of 

 the first longitudinal vein ; third longitudinal vein straight, but turning 

 down to the inner margin at nearly a right angle. The venule which, in 

 continuation of the main vein, is bent upward at its origin, thence goes 

 straight to the outer edge, inclosing a triangular space. The halteres are 

 pale flesh-colored. 



.Abdomen blood-red, with slight sparse hairs. The segments on the 

 terminal half of the abdomen are edged with black, and the tip of the 

 abdomen is blackish, while the genital armature is flesh-colored. Length 

 .10 inch.
