annulipes Hood, 1915

( Figs 22 , 59, 110, 112, 116, 155)

Described originally from Panama, with a synonym described from Mexico, this species is closely similar in structure, sculpture and chaetotaxy to varipes , with long pronotal setae, little pronotal sculpture, and fore wings that are bicoloured. The only difference found on the available specimens is that the mid tibiae of annulipes are brown but sharply yellow on the basal third, whereas those of varipes are more extensively, or even completely, yellow. F. annulipes was recorded from Brazil by Mound and Marullo (1996) from a single female taken from an orchid at Piracicaba (São Paulo).
