Description

Genus Fidicinoides Boulard & Martinelli, 1996

Fidicinoides Boulard & Martinelli 1996: 44.

Type species. Fidicina picea Walker 1850: 81. (Mexico)

Remarks. Fidicinoides currently exhibits greater species diversity and ranges farther north than Fidicina (Sanborn 2011a; 2013; 2014; 2016b; Sanborn & Maes 2012; Maes et al. 2012; Sanborn & Heath 2014).

Diagnosis. Species of Fidicinoides are characterized by short and narrow lateral metascutellar plates not reaching the timbal covers, timbal covers not covering timbal cavities completely, head not very prominent but noticeably wider than mesonotum, and wide and flattened cruciform elevation (Boulard & Martinelli 1996; Santos et al. 2010).

Distribution. Species of the genus have been reported from most of tropical America with records of specimens from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2011a; 2013; 2014; 2016b; 2018; 2019a; 2020b, d; Sanborn & Maes 2012; Maes et al. 2012; Sanborn & Heath 2014).
