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

   head, 
  flat 
  fi'ont, 
  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.
