A new genus, Ctenopleuriphora, is described for a new species, C. decemsetalis, collected in Hainan, China. The genus shows some resemblance to Phlebothrix and Spiniphora in having more than one pair of dorsocentral bristles and to Psyllomyia in having several hair palisades, but differs from other existing genera in possessing a mesopleural comb.
