Fidicinoides descampsi
Boulard & Martinelli 1996: 69
(San José del
Guaviare
,
Vaupés Department
,
Colombia
).
Diagnosis.
The infuscation connecting all crossveins and proximal apical cells and dark infuscation on the ambient vein and distal apical cell veins quickly distinguishes this species from others in the fauna. The only other recorded species of the genus in the Lesser Antilles,
Fidicinoides pronoe
(
Walker, 1850
)
, lacks infuscation in the fore wing. The wingspan of
Fidicinoides descampsi
(about
115 mm
) is also noticeably greater than
Fidicinoides pronoe
(about
85 mm
).
Distribution.
The species has been reported from
Colombia
(
Sanborn 2013
) with recent records expanding the distribution to include
Bolivia
,
Ecuador
,
Peru
, and
Trinidad
(
Sanborn 2019a
;
2020a
, b, c). It is currently only known from
Trinidad
in the Lesser Antilles.
