Three new species of Phthinia Winnertz are described; P. amorimi n. sp. (Chile), P. oliveirae n. sp. (Chile), and P. nepalensis n. sp. (Nepal). Based on male terminalia, P. amorimi shows greater affinity to species previously described from Brazil whereas P. oliveirae is more similar to other Chilean species. Phthinia nepalensis is the first species of the genus described from the Oriental region. Distribution records for other Neotropical species are also given.
描述了菲氏寄蝇属（Phthinia Winnertz）的三个新物种；阿莫里菲氏寄蝇（Phthinia amorimi）新种（智利）、奥利韦拉菲氏寄蝇（Phthinia oliveirae）新种（智利）和尼泊尔菲氏寄蝇（Phthinia nepalensis）新种（尼泊尔）。基于雄性外生殖器，阿莫里菲氏寄蝇与先前从巴西描述的物种亲缘关系更近，而奥利韦拉菲氏寄蝇则与其他智利物种更为相似。尼泊尔菲氏寄蝇是该属在东洋区描述的首个物种。还给出了其他新热带区物种的分布记录。
