Systematics: Fonscolombia ulusoyi can be distinguished in having: (i) two cerarii on the posterior abdominal segments; (ii) absence of oral collar tubular ducts on dorsum; (iii) absence of quinquelocular pores on venter; (iv) large discoidal pores on both on venter and dorsum and (v) circuli present. However F. ulusoyi is closest to F. herbaceae in having large discoidal pores and circulus on venter but differs in lacking oral collar tubular ducts on dorsum and lacking quinquelocular pores on venter. Fonscolombia ulusoyi is also similar to F. europaea in lacking oral collar tubular ducts on the dorsum but different from this species in having a circulus on venter. Fonscolombia ulusoyi is also close to F. stipae in lacking oral collar tubular duct on the dorsum and in having a circulus on venter but differs in having 6 segmented antennae (7 segmented antennae in F. stipae) and only two cerarii on abdominal segments (6 pairs of cerarii in F. stipae). (Kaydan, 2014)
