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 meta-scutellar plates that do not reach the timbal covering and timbal covers that do not completely close the timbal cavities. Fidicinoides also presents a head noticeably wider than the mesonotum but not very prominent and with a wide and flattened cruciform elevation (Santos et al. 2010). Fidicinoides exhibits greater species diversity than Fidicina and extends farther north than does Fidicina (Sanborn 2011a; 2013; 2014; 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; 2014; 2016b; Sanborn & Maes 2012; Maes et al. 2012; Sanborn & Heath 2014).
