REMARKS.
Many large species of
Fidicina
and
Fidicinoides
with infuscated wings have been classified at one time or another as
F. mannifera
(
Sanborn 2013
)
.
Fidicina mannifera
is the smallest, although some
F. obscura
can be of similar size to large specimens, of the Peruvian
Fidicina
species with a wingspan less than
125 mm
. The species can be distinguished further by the timbal cover of the male not extending below the metascutellar plate, the male operculum forming an approximate equilateral triangle, the fore femora proximal spine is parallel to the femoral axis, the apical femoral spine is almost upright, and the lateral branch of the uncus is flat and does not recurve.
