The "frit flies." They are small, bare species, with hemispherical 

 head, flat front, short antennae, short wings and ovate or elliptical abdo- 

 men. The legs are short and moderately stout. They are often colored 

 or banded, and are common in grass and meadow lands. The larvae live 

 in the stems of grasses of all kinds, and may become locally injurious.
