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]
