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

Distribution.

Costa Rica
(
