Remarks.
The genus was erected as part of a taxonomic key (
Boulard & Martinelli 1996
). A revision of the genus has recently been published providing a full description and the reassignment of several species into and out of the genus (
Sanborn 2016a
). Within the
Guyalnina
,
Guylana
can be distinguished from
Hemisciera
Amyot
& Audinet- Serville, 1843 by the bright green basal area of the fore wings and bright red on the basal area of the hind wings of this genus.
Majeorona
Distant, 1905d
, has a head width wider than the mesonotum, with the prominent eyes stylate and extended anteriorly.
Pacarina
Distant, 1905d
can be distinguished by the prominent eyes that project laterally beyond the anterior edges of pronotum, the non-parallel radial and radiomedial crossveins, the abrupt facial color change, and triangular timbal covers. Species of
Proarna
Stål, 1864
possess a head that is about as wide as the mesonotum with the eyes barely or not extending beyond the anterior angle of the pronotum, radial crossvein vertically oriented to the radius anterior 2 and radius posterior veins with a radiomedial crossvein that is obliquely oriented, large semicircular male opercula, and triangular or small, curved timbal covers.
Dorisiana
Metcalf, 1952
is the most similar genus to
Guyalna
but species can be distinguished by the head being as wide or wider than the mesonotum with eyes not extending beyond the lateral edges of the pronotum, triangular timbal covers, ventral margin of the timbal cover angled dorsally not parallel to the long body axis, and the lateral lobe of the uncus does not extend to the same lengths as the species of
Guyalna

Distribution.
Species of the genus are found over much of the Neotropics including references to
