Diagnostic characters:
The species can be separated from all other members of the genus by having more than 10 setae in cell m proximal to RM, costal extension ending close to wing tip, and AR lower than 0.50.
Etymology:
From Spanish
guatemalteco
, a native of
Guatemala
; the name is to be regarded as a noun in apposition.
