Diagnosis.

Eyes removed from pronotal collar (Figs 2, 10, 39); antennal segment I longer than width of head; segment II with yellow annulation apically (Figure 39); corium with distinct pale patch near base (Figs 1, 39); membrane with distinct pale patch basally (Figs 1, 39); body of left paramere thin, inner margin curved and outer margin weakly sinuate, apical process short and broadened, ventral part elongated (viewed laterally from left) (Figure 15); female genitalia as in Sadowska-Woda et al. (2006: figs 6-8, 17).

Remarks.

Fulvius bifenestratus is most similar to F. bimaculatus in sharing the dark brown to black corium with a large yellow patch near the base and the membrane with a yellow patch basally (Figs 1, 2). It can be distinguished by its smaller size, the coloration of antennal segment II, and form of the male genitalia. With F. bimaculatus and F. henryi it also shares the eyes removed from the pronotal collar (Figs 1-3, 10, 39); corium covered with sparse, short setae, without any pale patch over cuneus (Figs 1-3, 39); and the short and broadened apical process of the left paramere (Figs 15, 18; Carvalho and Lorenzato 1978: fig. 49), but is distinguished by the shape of the male genitalia.

Biology.

Unknown.
