Remarks.
Marshall
et al.
(2018)
synonymized the
Hyantiini
into the
Fidicinini
along with several genera previously classified in a number of different tribes and subfamilies. Species of the tribe extend across the majority of the New World being absent only at the higher latitudes (
Metcalf 1963a
;
Duffels & van der Laan 1985
; Sanborn 2013; 2019b;
Sanborn & Heath 2012
; 2014;
Sanborn & Phillips 2013
). Tribal characteristics include timbal covers extending anteriorly, incomplete, part of dorsal timbal exposed, opercular well developed and usually angulate, trapezoidal pronotum sometimes possessing lobately produced posterior angles, and distinctly elevated metasternum (
Distant 1905c
;
Boulard & Martinelli 1996
;
Marshall
et al
. 2018
). Hind coxae with large protruberances, dorsally reduced timbal covers, never bifurcated basal pygofer lobes, uncus with dorsal crest and ventral apophyses to restrain aedeagus, and absence of medially angulate lateral pronotal margins are unique to species of the tribe (
