Abstract
Precise morphological examination of specimens which have so far been recorded as Amiota (Phortica) magna OKADA, 1960 from allopatric populations in the Oriental Region revealed that they actually comprise a complex of four morphocryptic species : viz., A. (Ph.) magna from Japan, A. (Ph.) foliata sp. nov. from Guangdong and Hainan Is., A. (Ph.) antillaria sp. nov. from Taiwan, and A. (Ph.) bicornuta sp. nov. from Yunnan. A new species-complex, the magna complex, was established by these four species in the subgenus Phortica SCHINER.
