Remarks
Please see WSC (2022) for a full synonymic list of this species, and Zonstein & Marusik (2019) for description, diagnosis, natural history, and additional distribution records.
Updated diagnosis
Males are similar to those of F. betarif sp. nov. and F. albens by having an elongate pedipalpal femur and tibia, and by a subconical copulatory bulb with a terminally hooked embolus ( Fig. 6 View Fig ; see also Zonstein & Marusik 2019: fig. 27). Males differ from those of F. albens by their longer copulatory bulb and from those of F. betarif sp. nov. by their inconspicuous embolic keel ( Fig. 8H View Fig (arrow), 5B, k) (conspicuous keel in F. betarif sp. nov., Fig. 5A View Fig ). Females have a pair of large spermathecae that may be partially divided or undivided ( Fig. 3C–D View Fig ) and their variation includes the observed morphology of F. betarif sp. nov.; thus females are not diagnosable through morphology alone, they can be diagnosed using DNA barcoding of the COI gene.

Distribution
Widely distributed in the Mediterranean region and the Middle East ( Fig. 4A View Fig ), with records (probably introduced) in the Azores, Socotra Island, Cabo Verde, Angola and Venezuela. In Israel, it is distributed in Mediterranean areas in the north ( Fig. 4B View Fig ); in some localities only females are known, and thus it is possible these records could belong to F. betarif sp. nov., although it is more likely these records are of F. insidiatrix since they broadly overlap with records of males.
