F. sordidus is the type and the only species of Floresianus (Lanteri & del Rìo 2017). Based on its color pattern is similar to Atrichonotus convexifrons (Lanteri & O'Brien 1990), but it differentiates by the coarse setae of the odd-numbered intervals of the elytra, the more conical rostrum, the presence of a row of denticles on the inner margin of front tibiae, and the absence of a corbel at the tip of hind tibiae.
This species is flightless, probably parthenogenetic (Lanteri & Normark 1995) and females are infected with the bacterium Wolbachia(Rodriguero et al. 2010a).
A niche modeling analysis predicts that southeastern USA, central Europe, northeastern Brazil and the coast of South Africa are suitable for its establishment (Lanteri et al. 2013a).
