Relationships.
The deScription of
G. magnus
by
RoSS (2001)
did not include illuStrationS. RoSS indicated that hiS new SpecieS and
G. beni
occurred in the Same region; they are actually Sympatric. The characterS uSed by RoSS to diStinguiSh thiS SpecieS (coloration detailS, croSS VeinS, “Size” of the outer tip of 10Lp) are not releVant, aS they are typical intraSpecific differenceS. Therefore, thuS,
G. magnus
RoSS iS conSidered a junior Synonym of
G. beni
Szumik.
