Male genitalia ( Fig. 88). Socii weakly developed; valva large with small neck and very short ventral incision; sacculus somewhat convex postmedially; cucullus very large, oval; aedeagus broad basally, slender in postmedian half, with dorsoterminal hook; henion well sclerotized, without thorns.

Female genitalia ( Fig. 115). Papilla analis small; apophyses moderate, slender; proximal part of sterigma tapered anteriorly, postostial part about twice longer, well sclerotized posteriorly; sclerite of cingulum small, subterminal; one pair of strong signa.

Remarks. Described from 11 specimens of which six are in the collection of RMCA (3♂, 2♀, and one of unknown gender). The lectotype was selected by Aarvik in 1998 but was not published until the present paper. Laspeyresia cynicopis is a junior subjective synonym of Fulcrifera periculosa . Comparison with Razowski & Krüger's (2007) figure of the male genitalia of periculosa with the male genitalia of cynicopis shows that the two are conspecific.
