Description
35) Phortica (Ashima) machoruka Prigent & Chen, 2008
(Fig. 3B,C)
Phortica (Phortica) machoruka Prigent & Chen, 2008: 25.
Phortica (Ashima) machoruka: Chen & Máca, 2012: 507.
Diagnosis. Aedeagal, median rod deeply bifurcated from base: ventral process strongly sclerotized, apically curved ventrad, but dorsal one less sclerotized, apically curved dorsad (“Fig. 21” in Chen & Máca 2012).
Supplementary description (not repeating characters common to P. angulata). Supracervical setae approximately 14. Arista with arb = 3–4/0; apical, leaf-like expansion narrower than 1/2 length, apically with long, awn-like projection. Cibarial, medial sensilla approximately 11 per side; posterior sensilla 5–6 per side.
The antisymmetry is observed in the postgonites: in A-type, the left postgonite bears apically 1 long and 1 small, strongly sclerotized projections and 1 long, less sclerotized process, and subbasally 1 thick, apically blunt, strongly sclerotized projection, but the right one 2 long, strongly sclerotized projections and 1 long, less sclerotized process in the apical portion; but in B-type, vice versa (“Figs 21, 22” in Chen & Máca 2012).
Specimens examined. Kenya: holotype ♂ (A-type), Kakamega Equatorial Forest, 11.x.2002, S. Prigent leg. (MNHN); 1♂ paratype, ditto, except 11–23.x.2002 (MNHN).
Distribution. Kenya.
