Description

Genus Fidicinoides Boulard & Martinelli, 1996

Fidicinoides Boulard & Martinelli 1996: 44.

TYPE SPECIES. Fidicina picea Walker 1850: 81. (Mexico)

REMARKS. Boulard & Martinelli (1996) established the genus Fidicinoides for species characterized by short and narrow lateral metascutellar plates that do not reach the timbal covers and timbal covers that do not completely close the timbal cavities. Species of Fidicinoides also presents a head noticeably wider than the mesonotum but is not very prominent and possess a wide and flattened cruciform elevation (Santos et al. 2010). The genus Fidicinoides exhibits greater species diversity than Fidicina and extends farther north than does Fidicina (Sanborn 2011a; 2013; 2014a; 2016b; Sanborn & Maes 2012; Maes et al. 2012; Sanborn & Heath 2014).

DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Trinidad & Tobago, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2011a; 2013; 2014a; 2016b; 2018c; Sanborn & Maes 2012; Maes et al. 2012; Sanborn & Heath 2014).
