Remarks.
Pruthi (1930)
described the species
G. minorcephala
from Murree Hills (
Pakistan
). Here we have collected the specimens from the species
type
locality (Jhika Gali, Murree Hills) for the first time since Pruthi. This species is similar to
G. intermediata
in general appearance and male genitalia but can readily be distinguished by the latter having the aedeagal shaft with lateroapical spines well separated from each other.
