Type locality. The type specimen was collected in British Guiana ( Surinam).

Remarks. The species was transferred to Guyalna in the abstract and Dorisiana in the text of Boulard & Martinelli (2011). The holotype for C. brisa could not be located but images of the holotype of F. amazona (BMNH) ( Fig. 6 ) clearly show the timbal cover is not triangular and has the rounded apex characteristic of Guyalna . In addition, M. Boulard added a label to this specimen listing it as the holotype of Guyalna amazona in 2014 ( Fig. 6 ). As a result, the species is hereby transferred to Guyalna to become Guyalna brisa ( Walker, 1850) n. comb. Body length 27–29 mm, fore wing length 37–40 mm.

Distribution. The species has been reported from Brazil, Colombia, Guyana and Peru ( Metcalf 1963; Sanborn 2013).
