Remarks.
This new species is considered to be the undetermined new species of
Dorisiana
discussed by
Wolda (1989)
&
Wolda & Ramos (1992)
. The
type
series was collected at one of the localities mentioned in these works and is the only unidentifiable species of a
Dorisiana
-like species that I found in collections. In addition, the image described in the previous paragraph that matches the females in the
type
series is evidence to support the synonymy of the new species identified in
Wolda (1989)
&
Wolda & Ramos (1992)
with this new species. The genus
Guyalna
did not exist when the species was discussed by
Wolda (1989)
or
Wolda & Ramos (1992)
.
Dorisiana
is structurally similar to
Guyalna
and many species have been classified in either genera at one time or another (
Sanborn 2016a
). The lobate timbal covers classify this new species in the genus
Guyalna
rather than
Dorisiana
(
Sanborn 2016a
)
. The species is a rainy season
cicada
with emergences between late April to early November (
Wolda 1989
). The species sang during the day in
Panama
(
Wolda 1993
).
Etymology.
The name is in honor of Henk Wolda who referenced the new species and provided ecological data on multiple Panamanian
cicada
species.

, mean (range). Length of body: males 22.15 (21.5–22.8), females 19.46 (18.1–20.4); length of fore wing: males 32.60 (32.4–32.8), females 29.56 (28.1–31.0); width of fore wing: males 9.85 (9.8–9.9), females 9.39 (8.9–10.0); length of head: males 3.60 (3.5–3.7), females 3.33 (2.8–3.6); width of head including eyes: males 9.45 (9.3–9.6), females 8.72 (8.1–9.2); width of pronotum including suprahumeral plates: males 9.35 (9.3–9.4), females 8.54 (7.8–9.3); width of mesonotum: males 8.00 (7.8–8.2), females 7.39 (6.9–7.8).
Diagnosis.
The new species can be distinguished easily from the other Panamanian species of
Guyalna
.
Guyalna bicolor
is a short, stocky species being about half as wide as long with a green (fading to ochraceous in some specimens) head and thorax and castaneous or testaceous abdomen and
G
.
bogotana
is greenish tawny head and thorax with an ochraceous abdomen rather than the dark brown and piceous new species. In addition, the abdominal tergites of male
G
.
bogotana
are translucent. The much larger (body length
35 mm
)
G. fumea
has infuscation on the distal half of the fore wings and distal hind wings easily distinguish this species. The most similar Panamanian species is
G. panamensis
but it can be distinguished by its tawny body (greenish tawny in fresh specimens), the mesothorax only marked with piceous along the parapsidal suture, the abdomen has silvery and piceous pile that produce a piceous arch across the dorsal tergites from tergites 3–7 and the males and females are of similar size in
G. panamensis
.
The new species can be distinguished from the remaining species of
Guyalna
relatively easily as well. The new species has a body length (
18-23 mm
) less than
G. aurora

,
G. bonaerensis
(
Berg, 1879
)
,

)
distinguish them from the new species. The new species can be distinguished from
G. atalapae
Boulard & Martinelli, 2011
by the orange basal area and smoky distal edge of its fore wing, from
G. bleuzeni
Boulard & Martinelli, 2011
,
G. coffea
Sanborn, Moore & Young, 2008
and
G. distanti
(
Goding, 1925
)
where the mesothorax is marked only along the parapsidal suture with piceous, from
G. densusa
Boulard & Martinelli, 2011
and
G. jauffreti
Boulard & Martinelli, 1996
by the ochraceous ventral surfaces of these species, from
G. flavantica
Ruschel, 2017
,
G. maxineae
Sanborn, 2016b
and
G. tenebrae
Ruschel, 2017
by the infuscation at the base of the hind wing extending about a third of hind wing length and the basal cell of the fore wing is colored completely, from
G. pilosa
Ruschel, 2017
by the infuscation at the base of the hind wing extending about a third of hind wing length, the basal cell of the fore wing is colored completely and the dense pile possessed by this species. Finally,
G. glauca
(
Goding, 1925
)
has a monochromatic green head and thorax without piceous markings.
Distribution.
The
type
series was collected in
Darién Province
, on Barro Colorado Island and at Curiche,
Choco
,
Colombia
. Curiche is less than
30 km
south of the Panamanian border on the west coast of
Colombia
. The species was reported from Barro Colorado Island,
Panama
Canal Zone,
120 m
altitude in lowland forest (
Wolda 1989
;
Wolda & Ramos 1992
) and from Las Cumbres,
15 km
north of
Panama
City
in
Panama
(
Wolda 1993
) as an undetermined species.
