Pygophora apicalis is a species of fly in the family Muscidae and subfamily Coenosiinae.

The abdomen is yellow with a dark grey pattern, and the third and fourth visible tergites have three black spots each.

They are overall similar to males, but the mesonotum is more yellowish, the wings never have dark patches, the fourth abdominal tergite does not have a pinched dorsal edge, and the hind tibia is unmodified.

[2] Pygophora apicalis have been found in fruit fly (Tephritidae) surveillance traps, on vegetation, in buildings and in cars.

Based on larvae of other Coenosiini, they may live in soil and prey on small invertebrates.
