The gall (PI. 1, fig. 3) consists of the enlarged tip of a branch which has turned pink. The gall is divided into ten equal sections, has thin walls and contains a single cavity. It is 6 to 7 mm. long by 4 to 5 mm. wide. There is probably only one generation a year, the in sect passing the winter in the gall. The adult midges emerge through the extreme tip of the gall, where the sectors meet; parasites, however, gnaw through at any point. The adults emerge in late March and early April.
