Argyrochlamys is a genus of
flies in the family
Dolichopodidae. It is known from the
Afrotropics, the
Oriental realm, and the southernmost part of the
Palearctic realm.[5] The genus is closely related to the genera Pseudargyrochlamys and Phoomyia.[6] Species of Argyrochlamys are restricted to ocean beaches, and are usually collected in the burrows of
ghost crabs. Their ecological role within these burrows is currently unknown.[2] Adults of Argyrochlamys have a non-metallic dull body color, ranging from pale yellowish brown to dark grey.[2]
