REMARKS.
Fidicina mannifera
is generally smaller than
F. ethelae
and
F. robini
with a wingspan less than
130 mm
but larger than
F. christinae
. The species can be distinguished further by the timbal cover of the male not extending below the metascutellar plate, the male operculum being an approximate equilateral triangle, the fore femora proximal spine being parallel to the femoral axis and the apical femoral spine being almost upright, and the lateral branch of the uncus is flat and does not recurve.
DISTRIBUTION. The species has been recorded from the Antilles,
Bolivia
,
Brazil
,
Colombia
,
Costa Rica
,
Ecuador
,
French Guiana
,
Guyana
,
Nicaragua
,
Panama
,
