REMARKS
While examining species in an attempt to identify the new species of
Guyalna
described here, I determined that
Fidicina parvula
Jacobi, 1904
should be placed in the genus
Guyalna
. Examination of the
syntype
specimen in the ZMHB and specimens in the author’s collection obtained from the NCSU shows the species has the three-segmented tarsi and the curved timbal cover apex characteristic of the genus
Guyalna
(
Boulard and Martinelli 1996
)
.
Fidicina parvula
is hereby transferred to the genus
Guyalna
to become
Guyalna parvula
(
Jacobi, 1904
)
n. comb.
