15) Phortica (Ashima) nudiarista Cheng & Chen, 2008 Phortica (Phortica) nudiarista Cheng & Chen in Cheng et al., 2008: 619. Phortica brachychaeta Chen & Toda in Chen et al., 2005b: 422 (part, misidentification). Phortica (Ashima) nudiarista: Chen & M��ca, 2012: 507. Diagnosis. Arista apically with distinct, leaf-like expansion narrower than long and apically tapering and pointed but neither dorsal nor ventral branches (��� Fig. 8 ��� in Cheng et al. 2008); one lateral lobe of aedeagal sheath with 2 anterior postgonites widely separated; the other lateral lobe with 1 posterior and 1 anterior postgonites (���Fig. 11��� in Cheng et al. 2008). Supplementary description (not repeating characters common to P. pavriarista). Supracervical setae 9���11. Cibarial, medial sensilla approximately 9 per side; posterior sensilla approximately 5 per side. The antisymmetry is observed in the postgonites: in A-type, the left lateral lobe bears 2 anterior postgonites, and the right lobe 1 posterior and 1 anterior postgonites (���Fig. 11��� in Cheng et al. 2008); but in B-type, vice versa. Specimens examined. China: 1♂ (B-type), Zhengxing, Jingdong, Yunnan, 24.vii.2009 (SEHU). Thailand: 1♂ (B-type), above Sangwal, Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai, 1,250 m a.s.l., 24.vii.2008, H. B��nziger leg. (SEHU); 1♂ (Atype), above Sangwal, Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai, 1,250 m a.s.l., 9.i.2008, H. B��nziger leg. (SEHU); 1♂ (B-type), path to Pha Lad, Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai, 5.x.2008, H. B��nziger leg. (SEHU); 1♂ (B-type), path to Bung La U O, Ban Thi Pho Ji, Umphang Distr., Tak, ~ 800 m, 22.i.2008, H. B��nziger leg. (SEHU). Malaysia: 1♂ (B-type), Ulu Gombak, Selangor, 9.xii.2013, M.J. Toda leg. (SEHU). India: 1♂ (B-type), Uttarakhand, Chamoli Distr., Simli (Narainbagar), 5.ix.2010, P.C. Sati leg. (SEHU). Distribution. China (Yunnan), Thailand *, Peninsular Malaysia *, India (Uttarakhand)*. Remarks. This species resembles P. pavriarista in the morphology of the aedeagal sheath and postgonites, but can be distinguished from it by the diagnostic characters., Published as part of Toda, Masanori J., B��nziger, Hans, Sati, Pradeep C., Fartyal, Rajendra S., Suwito, Awit & Katoh, Toru, 2020, Taxonomy and evolution of asymmetric male genitalia in the subgenus Ashima Chen (Diptera: Drosophilidae: Phortica Schiner), with descriptions of seven new species, pp. 1-54 in Zootaxa 4789 (1) on page 20, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4789.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/3884610, {"references":["Cheng, Y., Gao, J.
