Pterodontia flavipes is a species of small-headed flies (insects in the family Acroceridae).[2][3][4][5] Adult males are 5.5–10.5 mm in size, while adult females are 5–9 mm.[6] The larvae are thought to enter their host spiders at the leg articulations.[7] First instar larvae of the species have also been recorded attacking the mites Podothrombium and Abrolophus.[8]
