Fidicinoides brunnea Boulard & Martinelli, 1996 new record

Fidicinoides brunnea Boulard & Martinelli 1996: 61 . (Rodovia 163, between km 500 and 600, Mato Grosso, Brazil)

REMARKS.—The second species with infuscation restricted to the radial and radiomedial crossveins but with the addition of infuscation along the ambient veins of the wings. It is similar to F. besti but it can be distinguished by the infuscation along the ambient vein of the wings and the lateral branch of the uncus being about as thick as the dorsal crest of the uncus rather than being about half the thickness of the dorsal crest as it is in F. besti which also lacks infuscation along the ambient vein of the wings. The infuscation in the wings distinguishes it from F. picea , F. pronoe and F. ptychodiropeda . Infuscation on the ambient vein distinguishes F. descampsi and F. poulaini from this species.

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported previously from Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru (Sanborn 2013; 2019b).
