REMARKS.—This is the smallest of the known Ecuadorian species of Fidicina with body lengths of 25–26 mm and wingspans of 69–75 mm ( Jacobi 1904). It is a greenish ochraceous species with piceous anterior abdominal segments, with a yellow fore wing clavus and the basal third of the hind wings. The infuscation is restricted to the basal radius anterior 2, basal radius posterior, radial crossvein and radiomedial crossvein (illustrated in Jacobi 1904).

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from Brazil, Ecuador, and Paraguay ( Metcalf 1963a). Goding (1925) reported the species from Balao, Bucay, and Guayaquil in Guayas province.
