Guyalna polypaga Sanborn, 2019b

Guyalna polypaga Sanborn 2019b: 39 . (Nr. jct. Rio Maranon & Ucayalia, 73.5ºW 4.8ºS, Loreto Province, Peru)

REMARKS.—This is the smallest of the Ecuadorian species of Guyalna (body length less than 20.5 mm). The lack of bronzing, infuscation of the base of the fore wing base or radial and radiomedial crossveins, or piceous lateral sigillae distinguish it from other species of the genus. The piceous arrow-shaped markings on the dorsal abdomen are also unique among the Ecuadorian Guyalna species.

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru ( Sanborn 2019b; 2020b). It has been reported from Napo and Orellana provinces in Ecuador ( Sanborn 2019b).
