Dirsh 1958).</p><p>Type species.-</p><p>G. terrea Karsch 1892.</p><p>Revised diagnosis of genus, compared to Dirsh’s (1965) generic description.-</p><p>The generic description presented in this work differs somewhat from the description of Dirsh (1965). Dirsh decribes the integument as being strongly tuberculate, and his diagnosis emphasizes the presence of a fastigial furrow and a short epiphallus. Unlike Dirsh (1965), we find that only G. opilionoides has a strongly tuberculate integument and G. terrea has a less tuberculate and granulated integument; G. opilionoides lacks a fastigial furrow - this character is specific to G. terrea; the epiphallic lophi of both species are lobiform but G. opilionoides have wide lophi while those of G. terrea are narrow or short like those described by Dirsh (1965).</p><p>Diagnosis.-</p><p>Body with integument slightly or strongly tuberculate and granulated; antenna longer than head and pronotum together; head conical, frons incurved; fastigium of vertex elongate-angular and sloping forwards; frontal ridge weak, strongly constricted below lateral ocelli; eyes convex; ocelli small. Pronotum cylindrical, with median and lateral carinae substituted by granulae; dorsum crossed by three sulci; prosternal process conical; external apical spine of the hind tibia absent; elytra and wings absent; the third segment of foot longer than the first, and the first longer than the second. Male supra-anal plate elongated, angular, with deep transverse furrow. Subgenital plate conical, with acute apex. Valves of ovipositor long, straight, with slightly curved apices; cercus conical. Epiphallus with wide bridge, small ancorae and incurved lobiform lophi; ventral aedeagal valves and valves of cingulum elongated, enclosed in a wide ectophallic sheath; anterior apodemes of aedeagus divergent with rounded apices; gonopore process pointed; zygoma wide, apodemes of cingulum parallel with acute apices.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/081D08598DAF781D1B6DF4E7BAD1C7FF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
