 Mesonotum in front irregularly punctato-rugose, behind more 

 feebly and subarcuately rugose. Mesopleurse densely coriaceo- 

 rugose ; metapleurae and median segment reticulate rugose, 

 scarcely separated. Petiole finely and densely trans-striate, about

This species is not unlike F. indicus Westw., but distinguished 

 by the coarse sculpture of head and temples, and by the white- 

 marked petiole and second segment.
