REMARKS. The genus was erected as part of a taxonomic key (
Boulard & Martinelli 1996
). A revision of the genus has been published recently providing a full description along with the reassignment of several species into and out of the genus (
Sanborn 2016a
).
Guyalna
differs from
Majeorona
Distant, 1905d
that has a head width wider than the mesonotum, with prominent, stylate eyes that extend anteriorly. Species of
Proarna
Stål, 1864
possess a head that is about as wide as the mesonotum with the eyes barely or not extending beyond the anterior angle of the pronotum, radial crossvein vertically oriented to the radius anterior 2 and radius posterior veins with a radiomedial crossvein that is obliquely oriented, large semicircular male opercula, and triangular or small, curved timbal covers.
Dorisiana
Metcalf, 1952
is the most similar genus to
Guyalna
but species can be distinguished by the head being as wide or wider than the mesonotum with eyes not extending beyond the lateral edges of the pronotum, triangular timbal covers, ventral margin of the timbal cover angled dorsally not parallel to the long body axis, and the lateral branch of the uncus does not extend to the same lengths as the species of
