Guyalna variegata ( Sanborn, 2005) n. comb.

( Fig. 24 )

Fidicina “variegata” nom. nud. Young 1977: 270.

Fidicina variegata Sanborn 2005: 187 .

Fidicinoides variegata Sanborn, Moore & Young 2008: 17 .

Type locality. Turrialba , Catago, Costa Rica.

Remarks. The species was last transferred to Fidicinoides based on the structure of the cruciform elevation and the relationship between the posterior mesonotum and metanotum ( Sanborn et al. 2008). However, the threepart tarsi along with a timbal cover with the rounded apex and approximate parallel sides as it extends anteriorly fits the expanded description of Guyalna provided here ( Fig. 24 ). As a result, the species is hereby transferred to Guyalna to become Guyalna variegata ( Sanborn, 2005) n. comb. Body length 21.9–28.5 mm, fore wing length 33.3–37.6 mm ( Sanborn 2005).

Distribution. The species has been reported previously from Costa Rica ( Sanborn 2005; 2014).
