2. In posterior view, apex of each cercus divided into two distinct lobes, lateral much longer than medial ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 14 – 18 ), basiphallus with a relatively simple, apically serrated medial process: distiphallus straight, arising basally, ( Figs. 17 & 18 View FIGURES 14 – 18 )..

10. Distiphallus with two almost 90° bends ( Fig. 47 View FIGURES 44 – 47 ), cerci relatively broad, at apex slightly angled towards centre, extending only slightly beyond epandrium ( Fig. 44 View FIGURES 44 – 47 ). Apex of wing clear.............................................. F. pretoria View in CoL

- Distiphallus sinuous and less angular with longer internal spines ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 6 – 9 ), cerci narrow with medial apical processes, extending well beyond epandrium ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 6 – 9 ). Apex of wing darkened. ( Fig. 1)....................................... F. apicalis View in CoL

11. Apical section of phallus with an almost 90° angle ( Fig. 30 View FIGURES 27 – 30 ).............................................. F. geneti View in CoL
