Present number of Fidicinoides View in CoL View at ENA
Since the proposal of the genus Fidicinoides , several species have been discovered or transferred to this genus. With the description of F. sarutaiensis sp. n. and the new combinations listed above, the genus is now composed of 35 described species, 18 originally described in Fidicinoides and 17 that were the result of generic reassignment. Of the total number of species known for the genus, 25 have already been reported as inhabiting Brazil ( Boulard & Martinelli 1996; Sanborn 2007 a, 2007b, 2008 a, 2008b; Santos & Martinelli 2009a; 2009b), currently making this the genus of the tribe Fidicinini with the greatest number of species in the country.
