Acrometopia conspicua is a species of fly in the family Chamaemyiidae.[1][2][3] It is found in Taiwan and is the only known representative of its genus there.[2] The specific name conspicua refers to the conspicuousness of this fly, including the colorful head that makes this species easily recognizable.[1]
The type series was collected from Hehuanshan (Mount Hehuan, also romanized as Hohuanshan) in Nantou County in July 1990. The types were found in the unsorted material of the Taichung Museum and subsequently described as a new species in 2005 by László Papp.[1]
