Phortica (Ashima) nakanoi Chen, sp. nov.

(Figs 11–15)

Diagnosis. This species is similar to P. foliiseta Duda, 1923 from Taiwan in the paramere, but can be distinguished from it by the vertical process of gonopods: the left lobe expanded submedially in ventral view (Fig. 13); the right lobe strongly expanded medially in lateral view (Fig. 14). In P. foliiseta, lobes of the vertical process of gonopods are not expanded medially (see Figs 4, 5 in Tsacas & Okada, 1983).

Description. Frons brown, with thick, dense interfrontal setae. Pedicel and first flagellomere yellowish. Arista expanded apically, without dorsal and ventral branches in male. Face brown, with yellowish white patches on lower corners. Clypeus medially white, laterally black. Thorax and scutellum orange brown. Legs yellow, with neither submedial, dark spots on femora nor dark rings on tibiae; fifth tarsomere of foreleg with long seta apically. Only third abdominal sternite distinctly broadened, shorter than wide, with several long setae laterally; fourth and fifth sternites longer than wide; sixth sternite lacking long setae laterally. Male terminalia: Surstylus with pubescence and several setae on inner surface, lacking prensisetae (Fig. 12). Paramere long, apically roundly knobbed and finely serrated, basally with 3–4 sensilla (Figs 13, 14). Female terminalia (Fig. 15): Seventh sternite (st 7) roundly broadened basally; eighth sternite (oviscapt, ovi) slightly triangular, pointed basally.
