Type
locality.
The
type
specimen was collected in British Guiana (
Surinam
).
Remarks.
The species was transferred to
Guyalna
in the abstract and
Dorisiana
in the text of
Boulard & Martinelli (2011)
. The
holotype
for
C. brisa
could not be located but images of the
holotype
of
F. amazona
(BMNH) (
Fig. 6
) clearly show the timbal cover is not triangular and has the rounded apex characteristic of
Guyalna
. In addition, M. Boulard added a label to this specimen listing it as the
holotype
of
Guyalna amazona
in 2014 (
Fig. 6
). As a result, the species is hereby transferred to
Guyalna
to become
Guyalna brisa
(
Walker, 1850
)
