Phortica (Phortica) flexuosa ( Zhang & Gan, 1986)

( Fig. 13 )

Amiota (Phortica) flexuosa Zhang & Gan, 1986: 355 .

Phortica kukuanensis Máca, 2003: 256 . syn. nov.

Diagnosis. Aedeagal median rod with 2 rows of transparent, jagged-like processes medially ( Fig. 13C ); paramere slightly protruded subapically ( Fig. 13C ).

Remarks. Máca (2003) identified P. kukuanensis Máca, 2003 from Taiwan as a new species based on the following characters: aedeagus subapically curved, basally less swollen and its apodeme being much longer; male abdominal sixth tergite extended on posterolateral corners. However, these characters are very common in P. flexuosa , even in the subgenus Phortica , such as P. chi ( Toda & Sidorenko, 1996) , P. eparmata ( Okada, 1977) , P. eugamma ( Toda & Peng, 1990) , and P. gamma ( Toda & Peng, 1990) .
