100. Family CHLOROPIDAE
[Originally] by Curtis W. Sabrosky

Chloropids are small flies, usually 1.5-5 mm in length, rarely longer, sometimes black, sometimes yellow or reddish, with or without red or black stripes. They are often called grass flies, although this common name is inappropriate for many species such as the eye or sore gnats of the New World (Hippelates, Liohippelates). Characteristically, chloropids have a large triangular plate on the frons, with the base at the vertex and extending anteroventrally toward the antennal bases. This frontal triangle is commonly bare and polished, although dull and mi¬crotomentose (pollinose) in some genera. Chloropids commonly have a distinct flexure in the long penultimate section of vein CuA, which occurs opposite or before the middle of cell bm + dm.

The known food habits of the larvae are varied, including saprophages (in the frass following damage by other insects, or in birds' nests, decaying leaf sheaths, or decaying veg¬etable matter in the soil), phytophages (such as the frit fly, the wheat stem maggots, and the gout fly of barley), gall formers, egg predators (in egg masses of spiders, mantids, grasshop¬pers, and some Lepidoptera), predators on root aphids (species of Thaumatomyia, including an important predator on the sugarbeet root aphid), and a few parasites. Little is known of the bi¬ology of Chloropidae in the Australasian/Oceanian Regions, but occurring in Australia is the unique Batrachomyia, whose larvae live beneath the skin of frogs and feed on blood.

Many of the species from this region were described in a series of papers by J.R. Malloch, culminating in a revision of the Australian species; however, the family is still rich in undescribed species. The Indo-Australian species were first monographed by Becker (1911), but this paper is now out of date, although still useful for its descriptions and for some generic keys. Andersson's (1977) review of the Old World genera of Chloropidae is important, but un¬fortunately did not cover many of the peculiar Australian genera.
