REMARKS.
The
Hyantiini
was synonymized into the
Fidicinini
by
Marshall
et al.
(2018)
along with several genera previously classified in a number of different tribes and subfamilies. Species of the tribe extend across the majority of the New World being absent only at the higher latitudes (
Metcalf 1963
s;
Duffels & van der Laan 1985
;
Sanborn 2013
;
2019b
;
Sanborn & Heath 2012
;
2014
;
Sanborn & Phillips 2013
). Species of the
Fidicinini
can be distinguished by anteriorly extending timbal covers that expose part of the timbal dorsally, well developed and usually angulate opercula, trapezoidal pronotum with posterior angles sometimes lobately produced, and a distinctly elevated metasternum (
Distant 1905d
;
Boulard & Martinelli 1996
). Species of the tribe are unique in their possession of large protruberances on the hind coxae, dorsally reduced timbal covers, basal pygofer lobe that is never bifurcate, uncus with dorsal crest and ventral apophyses to restrain aedeagus, and lack of medially angulate lateral pronotal margins (
