Extract

The family Opomyzidae is composed of small (2.0 mm.-4.4 mm.), slender, usually brown or reddish flies; the wings have at least an apical spot and are usually more heavily marked. Several species of the genus Geomyza have the wings reduced and are nearly flightless. The few species whose larvae are known feed in grass stems. Some are of minor economic importance in Europe but none have been so reported in North America.
