REMARKS.—The infuscation of all fore wing crossveins connecting to infuscation on the basal apical cell veins except for the radius anterior 2 and radius posterior quickly distinguishes this species from the other Ecuadorian species of Fidicina . It is a dark olivaceous species with piceous markings on the anterior mesothorax and a piceous abdomen, sometimes with castaneous dorsally on the anterior segments. Body length is about 31 mm and wingspan is about 90 mm ( Distant 1892b).

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from Brazil, Ecuador, and French Guiana ( Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011a). Goding (1925) reported the species from Posorja, Guayas province and Macas, Morona Santiago province.
