Fistulatus athena Shang & Zhang, 2003: 21 . Type locality: Malaysia (Sabah).

Remarks. This species is similar to F. monkoboensis Shang & Zhang in having a distinctive shape of pygofer processes, which are directed ventrally and slightly backward in lateral view, but can be distinguished by the presence of lateral processes on connective and by the style with the apical process slightly curved and digitate in lateral view.

Distribution: Malaysia: Sabah ( Shang & Zhang 2003; Shang et al. 2006; Lu & Zhang 2014; Qu et al. 2015).
