  • F. obscurovientia Wang, Ren & Liu, 2012
  • F. rufisutura Wang, Ren & Liu, 2012
  • F. fruhstorferi (Fairmaire, 1903)
  • F. imperialis (Fairmaire, 1903)
  • F. distinctestriata (Pic, 1917)
  • F. muelleri (Kaszab, 1954)
  • F. spectabilis (Pascoe, 1860)
  • F. microdera (Fairmaire, 1899)
  • F. nishimurai Masumoto, 1990
