Guyalna fumea ( Distant, 1883)

Fidicina fumea Distant 1883: 17 . (Bugaba, Panama)

Remarks. The species was recently transferred to the genus Guyalna from Fidicinoides ( Ruschel 2017) . It is the largest of the Guyalna species known to inhabit Panama with body lengths about 35 mm and a wing span of about 98 mm. The dark brown (tinged with green in some specimens) marked with piceous body and infuscation on the distal half of the fore wings and distal hind wings easily distinguish this species. It is a rainy season cicada that emerges between late April and late July ( Wolda 1989).

Distribution. The species has been recorded from Costa Rica and Panama ( Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2013; 2014). The species has been reported from Bugaba ( Distant 1883) and Barro Colorado Island, Panama Canal Zone, 120 m altitude in lowland forest ( Wolda 1989; Wolda & Ramos 1992) in Panama.
