Diagnosis. This new species resembles
F. crassitibia
Wunderlich 2017
: (see
Wunderlich, 2017: 129
, fig. 78) by the absence of an embolic apophysis but can be distinguished by the presence of a tibial apophysis and the shape of the bulb. The bulb of the new species bent three times at a right angle, while that of
F. crassitibia
folds two times at a right angle.

ca.
0.1; tibia swollen, about two times wider than femur, with triangular apophysis in ventral view; cymbium small and compressed; bulb long, oval, proximally slightly swollen, bent, forming three right angles; embolic apophysis originates from middle of embolus, hookshaped.
