Literature.

Pic (1937: 138): original description; Wittmer (1938: 301): description of F. humeralis ab. unicolor; Wittmer (1939: 24): comparison with F. flavus [sic!]; Wittmer (1944: 217): catalogue; Pic (1951: 5): comparison with F. costatus [sic!]. In addition to the aforementioned literature, this species was included in a PhD thesis by Jeng (2008).

Remarks.

Wittmer (1938: 301) described the aberration of F. humeralis (ab. unicolor) from Tangkuban Perahu ["G. Tangkoeban Prahoe"] based on material from the collection of F. C. Drescher (possibly in MZB); however, this name is deemed to be infrasubspecific according to the Code ( ICZN 1999, Article 45.6.2.).
