Remarks
- Systematics: F. douglorum is similar to F. plana, but it differs in lacking perispiracular pores near the anterior spiracles, and in having perivulvar pores. F. douglorum also differs from F. plana in having "typical" ßabelate lobes, similar to those of F. biformis (Cockerell), rather than the unusually narrow lobes of F. plana (though the holotype of F. douglorum does have one unusually narrow third lobe on one side). (Normark, et al., 2014)
- Structure: Slide-mounted adult female, with subsemicircular cephalothorax, subtended by truncate abdomen; broadest at mesothorax and metathorax. Margin of thorax without convexities or indentations marking segment boundaries; lateral margin of abdominal segments III and IV convex, indented between segments. (Normark, et al., 2014)
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustrations in Normark, et al., 2014.
