Phortica (Phortica) cardua (Okada, 1977)

(Figs. 5A, 5B, 7)

Amiota (Phortica) cardua Okada, 1977: 24 .

Amiota (Phortica) shillongensis Singh & Gupta in Dwivedi et al. 1979: 62 . syn. nov.

Diagnosis. Male arista without or with 1–3 short ventral branch(es) distally, the longest ventral branch as long as 1/3 the longest dorsal branch (Fig. 7A); posterior bands of male abdominal third to fifth tergites connect to lateral margins (Fig. 5B); male abdominal sixth tergite narrow laterally (Fig. 7B).

Remarks. P. shillongensis was poorly described by Singh & Gupta in Dwivedi et al. 1979, which lacks sufficient morphological evidence in supporting it as a different species compared with P. cardua .
