Measurements (mm). N = 4 males or 6 females, mean (range). Length of body: male 25.65 (23.8–27.2), female 23.67 (22.1–26.3); length of fore wing: male 36.08 (35.5–36.8), female 34.42 (25.1–38.5); width of fore wing: male 11.18 (10.9–11.6), female 11.00 (10.5–11.6); length of head: male 3.60 (3.5–3.7), female 3.38 (3.3– 3.5); width of head including eyes: male 6.65 (6.4–6.8), female 6.83 (6.7–7.0); width of pronotum including suprahumeral plates: male 10.03 (9.2–10.9), female 10.32 (9.8–10.6); width of mesonotum: male 7.68 (7.2–8.0), female 7.55 (7.0–8.0).

Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from all species of Procollina but P. mayaensis n. sp. and P. ulnamaculata n. sp. by the infuscation spots in ulnar cells of the fore wing. This species can be distinguished from P. mayaensis n. sp. by the knob-like extension of the lateral uncus lobes where they bend and female sternite VII being transverse on either side of the notch before expanding posteriorly in a semicircle to the lateral transverse margin in this species as well as this species being larger with a mesonotum width greater than 8 mm and a pronotal width greater than 10.8 mm. Procollina ulnamaculata n. sp. can be distinguished by the lateral margins of the lateral uncus lobes being curved towards the bend to the apex and the transverse posterolateral margin of female sternite VII rather than the lateral margins of the lateral uncus lobes being straight towards the bend to the apex and the curving posterolateral margin of female sternite VII in P. guatemalensis n. sp.

Distribution. The species is known only from the type series collected in Guatemala.
