Fidicinoides
Monk Cicadas
A genus of Neotropical cicadas distinguished by a partially exposed timbal not completely covered by the meta-scutellar plate, contrasting with the fully covered timbal of the related genus Fidicina. The genus exhibits extensive geographic distribution across Central and South America, with particularly high species diversity in Brazil. Several species have been documented in association with cultivated plants, including coffee plantations. The genus has undergone taxonomic revision, with multiple species transferred from Fidicina and some subsequently moved to Dorisiana.
