REMARKS. Species of
Fidicina
are distinguished from species of
Fidicinoides
by the long and wide lateral metascutellar plates that almost reach the timbal covers and whose timbal covers almost close the timbal cavities (
Boulard & Martinelli 1996
). The majority of historic species of the genus have been reassigned to
Fidicinoides
and other genera (
