Description

Fidicinoides pronoe (Walker, 1850)

Cicada pronoe Walker 1850: 144. (Unknown collection locality)

REMARKS.—This is the second Ecuadorian species with hyaline fore wings. This species is smaller (body length less than 36 mm, wingspan about 85 mm) than F. picea with a more slender body, narrower pronotal collar, a male operculum that does not extend to sternite II, an uncal dorsal crest that has an approximate right angled margin proximally, and the lateral branch of the uncus is extended and finger-like. Fidicinoides ptychodiropeda is a very similar species to F. pronoe but can be distinguished quickly by the fold in the lateral pronotal collar and the large and square lateral uncus lobes of F. ptychodiropeda. The remaining Ecuadorian species of Fidicinoides all have infuscation in their wings.

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Gua- temala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Trinidad & Tobago, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Dorval et al. 2011; Maccagnan & Martinelli 2011; Sanborn & Maes 2012; Maes et al. 2012; Sanborn 2013; 2014a; 2018c; 2020b, e).

MATERIAL EXAMINED.— “ ECUADOR Napo Prov / Misahualli ~ 350 m / 7 October 2001 / Mark Churchill coll.” one female (MSUC).
