Phortica (Phortica) tibeta Gong & Chen, sp. nov.

(Fig. 36)

Diagnosis. This species is somewhat similar to P. rhagolobos Chen & Gao in Cheng et al. 2008 in having the vertical process of gonopod bifurcated distally (Fig. 36C), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the vertical process of gonopod narrow, strongly sclerotized, and with several small jagged-like projections (Fig. 36C); the basal bridge of aedeagal median rod strongly elongated, slightly shorter than aedeagal median rod, with several minute, jagged-like processes (Fig. 36C).

Description. Frons black. Face brown. Mesoscutum, pleura and scutellum brown brownish yellow, with brown to dark brown patches and pollinose pattern. Male terminalia (Fig. 36): Epandrium lacking pubescence anteroventrally, with ca. 11 setae on dorsal to posterolateral portion per side (Fig. 36A). Surstylus lacking pubescence on outer surface, with several wedge-like prensisetae on apical margin and inner surface (Fig. 36B). Posterolateral lobe of hypandrium undeveloped and lacking pubescence (Fig. 36C). Paramere medially pubescent; apical and median processes each with 1 tooth; basal process slightly triangular (Fig. 36D).
