Revision of the subgenus Phortica (sensu stricto) (Diptera, Drosophilidae) from East Asia, with assessment of species delimitation using DNA barcodes Author Huang, Jia Author Gong, Lu Author Tsaur, Shun-Chern Author Zhu, Lin Author An, Keying Author Chen, Hongwei text Zootaxa 2019 2019-09-30 4678 1 1 75 journal article 25341 10.11646/zootaxa.4678.1.1 96c8a18a-e887-4345-b266-d76076e8416b 1175-5326 3468782 91B46647-B441-41F5-BE27-3A67D699788C Phortica ( Phortica ) conifera ( Okada, 1977 ) ( Fig. 9 ) Amiota ( Phortica ) conifera Okada, 1977: 18 . Amiota ( Phortica ) conifera takadai Okada, 1977: 18 . Phortica takadai : Máca 2003: 261 . syn. nov. Diagnosis. Aedeagal median rod subbasally with 1 slender, triangular, lobe-like process ( Fig. 9C ), sometimes asymmetrical or bifurcated apically (as fig. 2A, B in Okada 1977 ). Remarks. We considered P . takadai Okada, 1977 as a synonym of P . conifera , because the lobe-like process of aedeagal median rod usually has some variations among the variegata complex species, such as P . chi ( Toda & Sidorenko, 1996 ) , P . eugamma ( Toda & Peng, 1990 ) , P . huazhii Cheng & Chen, 2008 , and P . lambda ( Toda & Peng, 1990 ) . Compared with P . conifera , there is no sufficient morphological evidence in supporting P . takadai as a different species. Specimens examined.
