Diagnosis.
Among the Palaearctic species of the subgenus,
G. woohoo
is characterized by the unique chaetotaxy on the fore wing disc which is setose behind stigmal vein and apex of marginal vein (
Fig.
321
).

Etymology.
The species name, treated here as a noun in apposition, is an interjection in English used to express sudden joy (of finding a new species).
