Guyalna bogotana ( Distant, 1892) new record

Fidicina bogotana Distant 1892: 58 . (Bogotá, Colombia)

Dorisiana viridis (non Olivier) Wolda 1977: 239, 244, Table 1.

Dorisiana viridis (non Olivier) Wolda 1983b: 95, 99, Fig. 4 .

Remarks. The species was transferred to Dorisiana based on the three-segmented tarsi ( Sanborn 2010b). The species was then transferred to Guyalna based on the expanded generic description by Sanborn (2016a). It is a species with a greenish tawny head and thorax with an ochraceous abdomen. The abdominal tergites of the male are translucent. Body lengths range from 24–26 mm.

The general features and coloration of the species may have meant it was been mistaken for what is now D. metcalfi Sanborn & Heath, 2014 (= Dorisiana viridis (Olivier, 1790)) . Dorisiana metcalfi is about the same size and has a very similar morphology to G. bogotana ( G. bogotana was previously classified as a species of Dorisiana ). There are minor coloration differences between the species with the genitalia being the most reliable way to distinguish the species. Both species have the same ground color, the head of G. bogotana has a few small piceous marks missing in D. metcalfi . The use of the taxon “ viridis ” has a complex and varied application (see Sanborn & Heath 2014). It is highly probable that Wolda (1977; 1983b) was actually collecting G. bogotana . As a result, the specimens Wolda considered to be Dorisiana viridis are considered to be G. bogotana . Wolda (1977; 1983b) reported the species emerges during the dry season from mid-to-late January to early April with the specific dates determined by the end of the rainy season.

Distribution. The new record represents a northern expansion for the species. It species has been reported previously from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru ( Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2013; Sanborn & Heath 2014).
