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.
