One of the males of this species affords a transition 

 from the preceding species, in having the colour of F. 

 planicollis and the form of F. anibigua. The two forms 

 are so closely allied that the females alone can be dis- 

 tinguished only by their colour. F. amhigua approaches 

 nearly to Apterygida.
