The Acartophthalmidae are a family of very small (1.0-2.5 mm), dark flies with pubescent arista and having ocelli, placed in the order Diptera. All are Holarctic in distribution. Two fossil species are known, with uncertain placement.
==Genera== Flies in the family have a pubescent arista on the antenna. They have ocelli and a characteristic bristle pattern on the head. The wing is sometimes tinged along the costa and there is a humeral break in the costal vein. †Acartophthalmites Hennig, 1965 Acartophthalmus Czerny, 1902
