Biology:Acartophthalmidae
From HandWiki
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.[1] Two fossil species are known, with uncertain placement.[2]
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.

Biology
Adults have been found mostly in forests, often on fungi and decaying wood. Larvae have been reared from dead wood and decaying organic material.[5]
