Panops is a genus of small-headed flies. It is endemic to Australia and the Papua region of Indonesia. Males and females measure 8.0–12.5 mm and 9.5–14.5 mm, respectively. Their larvae are thought to be endoparasites of spiders in the infraorder Mygalomorphae, a trait shared by most other members of the subfamily Panopinae.
