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.

Fidicinoides
exhibits greater species diversity than
Fidicina
and extends farther north than does
