Fidicinoides picea ( Walker, 1850)

Fidicina picea Walker, 1850: 81 (Mexico) .

Remarks. This species is larger (body length greater than 36 mm, wingspan about 110 mm) than F. pronoe . It can be further distinguished by the more robust body, wide pronotal collar, male operculum that extends to sternite II, the uncal dorsal crest has a curved margin proximally, and the lateral branch of the uncus is short and triangular.

Distribution. The species has been reported from Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Mexico, Panama, and Venezuela ( Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2013). The known distribution suggests there are several countries in which the species is awaiting discovery. It was reported as being collected in Panama by Wolda & Ramos (1992) but without locality data.
