Remarks.
Distant (1881a)
synonymized the species along with
Fidicina determinata
and provided the first record from
Guyana
. However,
Fidicinoides determinata
was removed from synonymy due to the different genitalia by
Boulard & Martinelli (1996)
.
Distant (1881a)
and
Uhler (1892)
both list
Demerara
as a source of specimens. All other records for the species are from mountainous regions of Central and South America (
Metcalf 1963a
;
Sanborn 2013
,
2018b
,
2020c
). The records from
Guyana
are considered to be
Fidicinoides determinata
as outlined above. As a result,
Fidicinoides picea
is removed from the
Guyana
cicada fauna.
Distribution.
The modified distribution of the species is
Brazil
,
Colombia
,
Ecuador
,
Mexico
,
Panama
, and
Venezuela
(
Metcalf 1963a
;
Sanborn 2013
,
2018b
,
2020c
) with
Guyana
no longer part of the distribution.
