Type
locality.
The
type
specimen was described from an unknown collection locality.
Remarks.
Boulard & Martinelli (1996)
transferred the species along with
G. bonaerensis
to the newly erected genus
Guyalna
representing the only two species of the genus at that time. The species is listed by
Boulard & Martinelli (1996)
as the
type
species of the subtribe Guyalnina. However, according to Article 63 (ICZN 1999) the name bearing
type
for a family-group taxon is a nominal genus as the family-group taxon is based upon the genus (Article 29) so
Guyalna
is the
type
genus for the subtribe not
G. chlorogena
as stated in
Boulard & Martinelli (1996)
. The timbal cover expanding over the lateral portion of the timbal cavity (
Fig. 7
) supports the interpretation of timbal cover anatomy provided here as characteristic of the genus. The male opercula are larger than congeneric species with the posterior margin extending to form an approximate equilateral triangle rather than the usual right triangle shape of the opercula seen in other members of the genus.

Distribution.
