You can your xargs with find command

find DIR -type d -name F40 | xargs ls

The find command, combined with ls, can do it. For instance like this:

find DIR -type d -name F40 -exec ls {} \;

As the GNU find man page says, the find command is used for file search in a directory hierarchy.

In this case find searches the DIR folder for folders (-type d) explicitly named F40, and then it executes the ls (list directory) command to show what's inside.
