Remarks.
This species was considered as a subspecies of
G. simplana
(Fischer von Röslerstamm)
by
Diakonoff (1964)
based on the similarity of wing pattern and genitalia.
Kawabe & Nasu (1994)
upgraded it to species level based on the presence of a bifurcated uncus and a non-deciduous cornutus. Subsequently it has always been regarded as an independent species of
Gibberifera
(
Liu & Li, 2002
;
Zhang & Li, 2004
;
Gilligan
et al
., 2018
). The male genitalia of this species is characteristic by having the uncus shallowly or deeply bifurcated and the vesica with one or two non-deciduous cornuti.
