Phortica (Phortica) bipartita (Toda & Peng, 1992)

Amiota (Phortica) bipartita Toda & Peng, 1992: 204 .

Diagnosis. This species is very similar to P. kava Zhu, Cao & Chen, 2018 in the male terminalia (as fig. 3B–D in Zhu et al. 2018), but can be distinguished from the latter by the color of pleura and the paramere. In P. bipartita: pleura mostly orange to orange-brown; paramere nearly black, bifurcated submedially (as fig. 16 in Toda & Peng 1992); in P. kava: pleura mostly dark brown to black; paramere mostly yellow, bifurcated from distal 1/3, the anterior branch with 3 pointed teeth apically (as fig. 3D in Zhu et al. 2018).
