Phortica ( Phortica) allomega Gong & Chen , sp. nov.

( Fig. 31 )

Diagnosis. This species is somewhat similar to P. hainanensis ( Chen & Toda, 1998) in the male terminalia ( Fig. 31 ), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the anterior branch of paramere apically broadened and strongly sclerotized, with 1 small cleft ( Fig. 31C ); aedeagus submedially lacking process on median rod, and basolaterally lacking brown patch on outer membrane ( Fig. 31C ).

Description. Frons brown above, dark brown below. Face black. Mesoscutum yellow, black anteromedially. Pleura greyish yellow, brownish on katepisternum. Male terminalia ( Fig. 31 ): Epandrium pubescent and strongly protruded on anteroventral corners, with ca. 8 setae on dorsal to posterolateral portion per side ( Fig. 31A ). Surstylus medially strongly curved inward, lacking pubescence on outer surface, with several prensisetae on distal 1/3 ( Fig. 31B ). Posterolateral lobe of hypandrium undeveloped and lacking pubescence ( Fig. 31C ). Paramere lacking sensillum or tooth on anterior and posterior branches ( Fig. 31C ).

Type materials. Holotype ♂ ( SCAU, No. 124906), CHINA: Mengdong, Cangyuan , Yunnan, 23°10'08''N, 99°13'52''E, alt. 1320m, 7.v.2016, J. Huang . Paratypes: 2♂ ( SCAU, Nos. 124907, 08), J. Huang, L. Zhu, other data same as the holotype .

Distribution. China ( Yunnan).

Etymology. A combination of the Greek words: ' all ' + ' omega ', referring to this species is different from P. omega ( Okada, 1977) .
