Abstract: Farkas in cite{Farkas} introduced an arithmetic function $delta$ and found an identity involving $delta$ and a sum of divisor function $sigm{a}^{\prime }$. The first-named author and Raji in cite{Guerzhoy} discussed a natural generalization of the identity by introducing a quadratic character $chi$ modulo a prime $pequiv3pmod4$. In particular, it turns out that, besides the original case $p=3$ considered by Farkas, an exact analog (in a certain precise sense) of Farkas' identity happens only for $p=7$. Recently, for quadratic characters of small composite moduli, Williams in cite{Williams} found a finite list of identities of similar flavor using different methods. Clearly, if $potequiv3pmod4$, the character $chi$ is either not quadratic or even. In this paper, we prove that, under certain conditions, no analogs of Farkas' identity exist for even characters. Assuming $chi$ to be odd quartic, we produce something surprisingly similar to the results from cite{Guerzhoy}: exact analogs of Farkas' identity happen exactly for $p=5$ and $13$.
