Bodenheimer (Animal Life in Palestine, 1935) has this to say:
Some of the pests of wheat and barley are to be found among the Chloropid flies (Chlorops taeniopa, Oscinis frit), neither of which, apparently is of major importance in our climate.
From Wikipedia:
Chloropidae is a family of flies commonly known as frit flies or grass flies. There are approximately 2000 described species in over 160 genera distributed worldwide. These are usually very small flies, yellow or black and appearing shiny due to the virtual absence of any hairs. The majority of the larvae are phytophagous, mainly on grasses, and can be major pests of cereals. However, parasitic and predatory species are known. A few species are kleptoparasites.
