Ceratodacus priscus is a species of prehistoric fly, which probably belongs in the family Tephritidae.[1] It is known from a single male fossil, preserved in Dominican amber from the El Mamey Formation of the Cordillera Septentrional. The species is characterised by the presence of long setulae on the arista.[1]
