Abstract
The endemic Australian stiletto fly genus Acatopygia Kröber is revised. Acatopygia pulchella Kröber and Acatopygia paradoxa (Kröber) are redescribed and a neotype for A. paradoxa designated. A new species, Acatopygia olivacea sp. nov., is described and a key to Acatopygia species is presented.
