Comparative notes
. As stated above, females of
G. shakespearei
and
G. i n c er t a
are considered as indistinguishable in this study. However, they are easily separable from females of
G. kobzari
,
described below, because they have a uniformly dark mesosoma and the apical area of fore wing has distinct setation (
Figs 1
C, E, 2C).
