Setae in posteroventral row on male f 3 longer than other setosity, only 3 or 4 in distal half somewhat shortened and slightly (in contrast to those of F. albimana ) thickened.

Distribution. The species was known only from southern Primor’e ( 40 km SE Ussuriysk) in the Far East of Russia. The above male (second known specimen) originates from a locality in the Jewish Autonomous Region, lying some 560 km further north.
