Remarks
- Systematics: The adult female of F. terani resembles the adult female of F. malvastra in having multilocular pores around the vulva only (fewer than 9 pores for F. terani) and having narrow dorsal enlarged tubular ducts, with a shaft diameter of 4.0-5.0 ìm at mid-length (unless the specimen has been over-cleared in KOH, which distorts duct width), with the ducts narrower on the head than on the abdomen. The adult female of F. terani can be distinguished from that of F. malvastra by its slender body shape (body broadly oval for F. malvastra) and by having the dorsal enlarged tubular ducts on the posterior abdominal segments with the associated setae situated inside a large sclerotised area surrounding each duct (setae usually situated on the edge of a small sclerotised area surrounding each duct in F. malvastra). (Kaydan & Gullan, 2012)
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Williams & Granara de Willink (1992).
