Guyalna bogotana ( Distant, 1892a)

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

REMARKS.—The greenish tawny head and thorax with ochraceous abdomen gives this species a very similar general appearance to Dorisiana metcalfi . However, the presence of a curved timbal cover with ventral margin parallel to the long body axis distinguishes it as a species of Guyalna rather than Dorisiana . The male abdominal tergites are translucent and body lengths range from 24–26 mm.

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru ( Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2013; 2020b; Sanborn & Heath 2014) with a recent range expansion into Venezuela ( Sanborn 2020a). The species has been reported from Coca, Orellana province, Santa Inez ( Jacobi 1907a; Goding 1925).
