Diagnosis.

Eyes contiguous with pronotal collar (Figs 7, 28, 40); antennal segment II dark brown with large, yellow annulation apically Figs 7, 28, 40); corium covered with dense setae, with distinct pale patches basally and apically (Figs 7, 28, 40); left paramere with apical process and paramere body forming right angle, paramere body and apical process nearly cylindrical, apical process elongate and weakly narrowed apically (Figure 22).

Remarks.

Fulvius subnitens is most similar to F. flavicornis and F. tumidipennis in having the corium with a pale patch basally (Figs 5, 6, 9, 40), but it is distinguished by the structures of the male genitalia.

Biology.

Unknown. Adults have been collected at light traps and from rotten logs.
