Description
As cecidomids, adult ''Contarinia'' are flies with hairy wings and long
antennae. Males have antennal flagellomeres equally binodose, with each node surrounded by one circumfilum. The palpi are four-segmented. The tarsal claws of the legs are simple. The wing costal vein is interrupted after its union with the radius or third vein.

Female inflorescences are not infected by the fungus and so cannot be used by the midges to breed, but they still attract ''Contarinia'' midges. The midges are known to carry pollen, so they are believed to
