12) Phortica (Ashima) foliiseta Duda, 1923

Phortica foliiseta Duda, 1923: 35; Chen et al., 2005b: 420.

Amiota (Phortica) foliiseta: Tsacas & Okada, 1983: 230 .

Phortica (Ashima) foliiseta: Chen & Máca, 2012: 507 .

Diagnosis. Dorsomedial, tentorial apodeme 3/4 as long as basal, parallel portion of dorsolateral, tentorial apodeme; longest, dorsal branch of arista as long as longest seta on pedicel; each lateral lobe of aedeagal sheath with apically more or less pointed, sclerotized, anterior and posterior postgonites (“ Fig. 4 ” in Tsacas & Okada 1983).

Supplementary description. Supracervical setae approximately 12. Some interfrontal setulae as long as lowest setulae on ocellar triangle (ch.3-0). Arista with arb = 1–2/0; apical, leaf-like expansion narrower than long, apically tapering and pointed (ch.7-1). Cibarial, medial sensilla approximately 7 per side; posterior sensilla approximately 6 per side. Fore and mid tibiae entirely yellow (ch.17,18-0). All tarsi entirely yellow. Abdominal sternite III longer than wide (ch.22-0), not wider than IV (ch.23-0), without dense setulae on medial surface (ch.26-0). Pregonite gently curved ventrad distally. Posterior postgonites on lateral lobes of aedeagal sheath medially separated from each other (ch.66-0).

The antisymmetry is observed in the postgonites: in A-type, the right, posterior postgonite is slightly curved but the left one nearly straight, and the right, anterior postgonite is thicker than the left one (“ Fig. 4 ” in Tsacas & Okada 1983); but in B-type, vice versa.

Specimens examined. Taiwan: 2♂ (A-type), Shanlinxi, 16.x.1992, M.J. Toda leg. (SEHU) ; 3♂ (B-type), Shan- linxi, 15–16.x.1992, M.J. Toda leg. (SEHU); 1♂ (A-type), Wulai, 8.x.1992, M.J. Toda leg. (SEHU) . China: 1♂ (Btype), Dinghushan, Guangdong, 4–10.iii.1987, T.- X. Peng leg. (SEHU) .

Distribution. Taiwan, China (Guangdong), Thailand.

Remarks. This species and the subsequent three species form a cluster (BP = 88%) with three synapomorphies (Fig. 1): abdominal sternite III longer than wide (ch.22-0), not wider than IV (ch.23-0), without dense setulae on medial surface (ch.26-0). However, this species can be distinguished from them by the diagnostic characters.
