TYPE SPECIES. Fidicina picea Walker, 1850: 81 . ( Mexico ) Remarks. Boulard & Martinelli (1996) established the genus Fidicinoides for species characterized by short and narrow lateral meta-scutellar plates that do not reach the timbal covering and timbal covers that do not completely close the timbal cavities. Fidicinoides also presents a head noticeably wider than the mesonotum but not very prominent and with a wide and flattened cruciform elevation ( Santos et al. 2010 ). Fidicinoides exhibits greater species diversity than Fidicina and extends farther north than does Fidicina ( Sanborn 2011a ; 2013 ; 2014 ; 2016b ; Sanborn & Maes 2012 ; Maes et al. 2012 ; Sanborn & Heath 2014 ). Distribution. The species has been reported from Argentina , Bolivia , Brazil , Colombia , Costa Rica , Ecuador , El Salvador , French Guiana , Guatemala , Guyana , Honduras , Mexico , Nicaragua , Panama , Peru , Trinidad & Tobago , and Venezuela ( Metcalf 1963a ; Sanborn 2011a ; 2013 ; 2014 ; 2016b ; Sanborn & Maes 2012 ; Maes et al. 2012 ; Sanborn & Heath 2014 ).
