The monotypic genus Hirotophora Brown et al. is revised, with a new species from Chile, Hirotophora chilensis sp. nov., described, and Chaetopleurophora dividua and Chaetopleurophora flavimarginata transferred to this genus. The addition of these species is based on the genus diagnosis, which is amended here, and on the synapomorphies recognized for Hirotophora. All species of the genus are extensively illustrated and new diagnostic characters are described. Females of Hirotophora are more structurally divergent than males, which show almost no conspicuous differences in the male terminalia among the species. This is an uncommon scenario for the subfamily Phorinae, and may relate to still-unknown life history particularities of the species of this genus.
单型属Hirotophora Brown等人被修订，描述了来自智利的一个新物种Hirotophora chilensis sp. nov.，并将Chaetopleurophora dividua和Chaetopleurophora flavimarginata转移到该属。这些物种的增加基于在此修订的属诊断以及为Hirotophora识别出的共衍征。该属的所有物种都有广泛的图示，并描述了新的诊断特征。Hirotophora的雌性在结构上比雄性差异更大，而雄性的外生殖器在物种之间几乎没有明显差异。这在蚤蝇亚科中是一种不常见的情况，可能与该属物种仍未知的生活史特殊性有关。
