Shoot tip gall. The final internodes are strongly shortened and the upper needles are swollen and widened at their base. The result is a globular gall. Also lower on the shoot a number of needles may basally swollen. In cypress trees the young shoots are swollen, excessively branching; the terminal buds are killed.

Redfern & Shirley (2011a) refer to a species: Trisetacus disjunctus de Lillo & Amrine 2002, with identical galls. I have found no information about this species.
