Diadelophora gen. nov, a conspicuous new genus of phorid flies is described based on two species from central and western Brazil, D. stilbella sp. nov. and D. inornata sp. nov. The new genus is positioned in the Thaumatoxena-group within the subfamily Phorinae, probably as sister group to Hypocerides Schmitz, 1915. The diagnostic features of Diadelophora are commented and illustrated, and the genus differences to Hypocerides are highlighted. The morphology of Diadelophora species is explored in detail with SEM, photos, and optical microscopy illustrations of structures of taxonomic relevance and other curious features of the genus.
新属 Diadelophora 是基于来自巴西中、西部的两个物种（即 stilbella 新种和 inornata 新种）而描述的显著的瘿蚊科新属。该新属位于瘿蚊亚科 Thaumatoxena 组内，可能与 Hypocerides Schmitz, 1915 互为姊妹群。Diadelophora 的鉴别特征进行了注释和说明，并突出了该属与 Hypocerides 的区别。使用扫描电子显微镜 (SEM)、照片和光学显微镜对 Diadelophora 物种的形态进行了详细的探索，展示了与分类相关的结构以及该属的其他奇异特征。
