    Rhytidops is a genus of flies in the family Ropalomeridae, established by Lindner in 1930. The genus contains at least two described species: Rhytidops chacoensis from Argentina and Rhytidops floridensis from the southeastern United States. Ropalomeridae flies are generally associated with decaying wood and fungal habitats. Very little is known about the biology of Rhytidops specifically.
