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).
