( Figs 13–18 ) Holotype ♂ , Changcheng Mountain ( 40°38'N , 113°72'E), Shanxi , China , 27 May 1987 . Paratypes : 3♂ , 8♀ , same data as holotype . Male ( Fig. 7 ). Macropterous, elongate oval, relatively stout-bodied, moderately large. Female ( Fig. 8 ). Very similar to males, but body slightly more ovoid than males. Coloration. Body brown; vestiture with dense, golden, and shining setae; antenna almost entirely dark brown; eyes brown; labium infuscate, darkened apically; membrane smoky, veins slightly darkened; abdomen brown; femora infuscate with not clear spots; tibial spines light brown without clear spots at bases; apices of tarsi and claws darkened; venter greenish yellow with gold yellow hair. Structure. Head almost vertical, clypeus not visible from above; frons and vertex weakly rounded and smooth in dorsal view; posterior margin of vertex straight; eyes occupying almost entire side of head, posterior margin contiguous with anterior margin of pronotum; antennal segment II much longer than width of head, segments III and IV slender than segment II and total length shorter than segment II; labium reaching mesocoxa; pronotum evenly rounded, lateral and posterior margins nearly straight, calli not clear; hemelytra smooth, nearly parallel-sided in males, weakly deflexed at fracture, membrane developed; genital capsule curving in males, large. Male genitalia ( Figs 15–18 ). Vesica twisted, sigmoid, with two apical spines, posterior apical spine relatively short, secondary gonopore oval, vesica with a small curved sclerotized rod in middle; left paramere boat-shaped; right paramere lanceolate; phallotheca weakly curving, attenuated apically. Etymology. This species is named for the type material locality ( Shanxi ). Remarks. The species is most similar to G. polii in size and coloration of dorsum, but distinguished by the structure of vesica and the coloration of femora. It is also similar to G. atraphaxius by their vesicae all S-shaped and with two apical spines, but G. atraphaxius has the vesica more curve and without a small curved sclerotized rod in middle. In addition, the new species can be easily distinguished from G. atraphaxius by the darker ground coloration. © Zoological Systematics , 39(3): 388–394 Figs 13 – 18.
