Antennae 8-segmented with one rhinarium on each of segments 3 and 5, and two on segment 7. Head and wing buds sparsely setose dorsally. Thoracic tergites small. Forewing buds moderately large, without humeral lobes. Margins of wing buds bearing lanceolate setae which are pointed or, more often truncate but slender apically. Legs relatively large and slender with fused tibiotarsus, claws absent. Caudal plate bluntly angular apically, bearing marginal and a few dorsal lanceolate setae similar to those of wing buds; dorsal lanceolate setae arranged in transverse and longitudinal rows. Anus ventral, circumanal ring small, consisting of one row of elongate pores. Host plants, gall and biology. Schinus montanus(Philippi) Englerand S. patagonicus(Philippi) Johnston; a series of adults was also collected on S. polygamuswhich may be accidental. Inducing irregular leaf roll galls. Distribution.
