Fidia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from North and Central America. There are 24 species recognised in Fidia.[2][3][4][5]

Fidia Motschulsky, 1860 has priority over this genus; an application to suppress Fidia Motschulsky, 1860 and conserve usage of Fidia Baly, 1863 and Lypesthes Baly, 1863 (a junior synonym of Fidia Motschulsky, 1860) was submitted to the ICZN in 2006, but was rejected by them in 2009. However, no names were placed on official lists or indexes in their ruling.[6]

Species

Fidia murina Glover, 1868 is considered a nomen dubium.[2]
