This new species is characterized by the combination of: 2 + 2 eyes, no capitate tenent hairs on tibiotarsi, three anal spines, furcula without mucro and dens with 3 setae. Total dorsal and ventral chaetotaxy of the new species is given. A revised key for identification of the species of this genus with 2 + 2 eyes is given. Forty-seven characters of antennal sensilla, eyes and body chaetotaxy are chosen for the cladistic analysis performed for 18 species of this genus, including 12 with 2+2 eyes. Results indicate the new species F. incognita seems to be related to F. nauimetztli from Mexico. The phylogenetic relationships of the species are not well resolved due to the presence of many homoplasies among different species that adapt to a similar soil habitat.展开更多
