Arthroceras is a genus of snipe fly of the family Rhagionidae. Arthroceras are mid-sized to large 4.5 to 13 millimetres (0.18 to 0.51 in), black, grey, or yellowish-colored flies that have a fairly long, tapering antenna consisting of 5–8 flagellomeres. Within Rhagonidae, the genus is sometimes(?) placed in the subfamily Arthrocerinae, in which it is the only genus.
