Treatment

2. Phortica (Ashima) foliiseta View in CoL species group, new

Diagnosis. Pregonital, apical knob with fine serrations (ch.45-1; Figs 4C View FIGURE 4 , 5D View FIGURE 5 ) and round barbule (ch.46-0, 47-1; Figs 4C View FIGURE 4 , 5D View FIGURE 5 , 6E View FIGURE 6 , 7G View FIGURE 7 ).

Shared characters. Palpus with hollow-shaped sense organ (ch.9-2). Some anterior, cibarial, medial sensilla short, apically blunt, peg-like (ch.11-1). Pseudotracheae in labellum 6 per side (ch.14-2). Mid and hind femora and hind tibia entirely yellow (ch.16,19-0). Epandrium widely round on ventral margin (ch.31-1; Figs 4B View FIGURE 4 , 5C View FIGURE 5 , 6D View FIGURE 6 , 7E View FIGURE 7 ); setae on and/or near ventral margin of epandrium not denser than those on other portions (ch.32-0; Figs 4B View FIGURE 4 , 5C View FIGURE 5 , 6D View FIGURE 6 , 7E View FIGURE 7 ). Hypandrium symmetric (ch.40-0; Figs 4D View FIGURE 4 , 5E View FIGURE 5 , 6G View FIGURE 6 , 7H View FIGURE 7 ). Pregonite ( Fig. 4C View FIGURE 4 , 5D View FIGURE 5 , 6E View FIGURE 6 , 7G View FIGURE 7 ) partly strongly sclerotized (ch.43-0), rod-like, with apical knob (ch.44-1) and sensilla only on basal portion (ch.53-1) but no serration on ventrodistal portion (ch.50-0). Aedeagal, outer membrane without apical, long, narrow tube (ch.57-0; Figs 5D View FIGURE 5 , 6E View FIGURE 6 , 7G View FIGURE 7 ); aedeagal free sclerite absent (ch.59-0; Figs 5D,E View FIGURE 5 , 6E,G View FIGURE 6 , 7G,H View FIGURE 7 ). Aedeagal sheath and/or postgonites asymmetric (ch.63-1; Figs 4D View FIGURE 4 , 5E View FIGURE 5 , 6F View FIGURE 6 , 7F View FIGURE 7 ).

Included taxa. Phortica (Ashima) foliiseta species subgroup; and P. (A.) tanabei subgroup.
