In the United States its larva has been observed to injure sugar-cane, corn, oats, wheat, etc., by burrowing in the stalks, many often occurring in one stalk, causing it to wither and die. According to Fyles the larva sometimes destroj^s other larvae. The fly is glossy greenish black; wings crossed by two wide bands and a terminal patch of blackish, the bands uniting along the posterior border. Head white ; eyes dark brown; legs yellow. Expanse about 10™""..
