DIPTERA. 635 Tlie terminal Scatoinyzidps have the seta simple; the antenna; a.\vays slinrt and straii^lit; tlioy arc small and glabrous Flies, black, and more or less varied with buff; the logs strong-, and the eyes large. The upper side of tiie head is flat, with a brown, triangular mask, in which the ocelli are placed. They are found in flowers. Many of their lai'vae mine the interior of vegetables, and some are very injurious to agriculturists, destroying various cereal plants previous to their fructification. Tlie larva; of Musca Frit sometimes destroy the barley crops in Sweden, to the amount of 100,000 golden ducats in a year, being one-tenth of tlie produce. The larva; of Uscbits pianilionis and Uneata, Fab., are equally obno.\ious. They constitute our genus Oscinis, Latr., to which we add the geuus Chloropt, i'-t jiy-'-^ .,^C7r~Xj\ Meig., and Piophila, Fallen.
