Fidicinoides picea

Abstract

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.Published as part of Sanborn, Allen F., 2018, The cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) of Panama including the description of six new species, three new combinations, one new synonymy, and nine new records, pp. 1-69 in Zootaxa 4493 (1) on page 21, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4493.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/144516
