Remarks.
Long and wide lateral metascutellar plates almost reaching the timbal covers and timbal covers almost closing the timbal cavities distinguish species of
Fidicina
from species of
Fidicinoides
Boulard & Martinelli, 1996
(which should eventually be found in
Suriname
) (
Boulard & Martinelli 1996
). The majority of species historically classified in the genus have been reassigned to
Fidicinoides
and other genera within the
Guyalnina (Sanborn 2013)
. Both species known from
Suriname
are large (wingspan greater than
100 mm
) with infuscation on the wing veins.
