Fulvius constanti Gorczyca, 2004: 154, figs 1-3; Gorczyca 2006: 41; Sadowska-Woda 2005: 21, 26, 27, 57, 93, 106, 170, 171, 172, tab. 19 figs 1-3; Sadowska-Woda et al. 2006: 619, 625, 633, 634, Figs 2, 21.

Fulvius nigricornis : Carvalho and Lorenzato 1978: 136, figs 50-53, 88, (nec Poppius 1909).

Diagnosis.

Eyes contiguous with pronotal collar (Figure 3); antennal segment II dark brown with broad, yellow annulation apically (Figure 3); corium with pale patch over cuneus (Figure 3); clavus with pale, thin stripe along outer margin and small, yellow patch apically (Figure 3); male genitalia as in Gorczyca (2004: figs 1-3).

Remarks.

Fulvius constanti is most similar to F. flavicornis , F. subnitens , F. thailandicus , and F. tumidipennis in having the eyes contiguous with the pronotal collar; the corium covered with dense setae, a pale patch over the cuneus; and the left paramere with an elongate apical process. It can be distinguished, however, by the absence of pale patches basally on the corium; the clavus with a thin, yellow stripe along its outer margin; and the shape of the male genitalia.
