Diagnosis:
4.7–5.5 mm
. Surface dull. Clypeal teeth lacking, but clypeal emargination clearly rounded, widely V-shaped and with bottom declivitous (Fig. 57). Elytral striae not punctured. Male apical tooth of metatibia flattened. Parameres as in Fig. 58.
Distribution:
Maracaibo, Venezuelan
Coast
and Venezuelan Llanos provinces of the Caribbean subregion (
Fig. 107
).
Remarks:
This species is undoubtedly related to
G. medinae
, based on secondary sexual characters, but shares with
G. paranense
the absence of clypeal teeth.
