Comparison:
G. kolyadai
belongs to the
G. incognitus
group. The female is similar to those of
G. patrizii
Benoit, 1951
,
G. aestivus
Olmi, 1987
, and
G. turneri
(Benoit, 1951)
, but it may be distinguished by the flat head (head excavated in the other three species) and the completely granulated metathorax + propodeum (metathorax + propodeum with a different sculpture in the other three species).
