( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 M, 2 M, 3 L, 5 E, 6 M, 7 M)

Description: Female (n=1: HT). Body length 7.5 mm.

Head. Ca. 0.6 times as long as wide. Clypeus 0.7 times as long as wide, roundly convex in lateral view ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 M). Face strongly convex medially ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 M), 0.5 times as long as wide. Frons with a large median horn between each antennal socket, its apex relateively pointed ( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 M, 3 L). OOL 1.4 times as long as OD; POL 1.4 times as long as OD. Mandible with narrow ventral flange by basal 0.6, its base flat. MSL 1.0 times as long as BWM. Antenna with 35 flagellomeres. F1 1.3 times as long as F2.

Mesosoma. Punctate, punctures on lateral lobes of mesoscutum (excluding near notaulus) separated by 0.3–2.0 (usually ca. 1.0) times their diameter. Epomia weak and short. Lateral area of pronotum entirely punctate, its lower part more or less sparser than upper part. Both sides of mesoscutum near tegula weakly and obtusely produced posteriorly. Propodeum entirely densely punctate except for narrow smooth area present anteriorly. Posterior transverse carina and pleural carina of propodeum complete. Other carinae of propodeum absent. Fore wing length 5.5 mm. Fore coxa with weak ridge antero-dorsally. Hind femur 5.8 times as long as maximum depth in lateral view. Hind TS1 2.2 times as long as TS2.

Metasoma. T1–T4 punctate ( Figs. 6 View FIGURE 6. T 1 M, 7 M). T1 1.2 times as long as maximum width, its median dorsal carina present on ca. basal 0.4 of tergite ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6. T 1 M). T2 1.0 times as long as maximum width. T2–T4 each with moderate a pair of oblique groove ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7. T 2 M). Ovipositor sheath ca. 1.1 times as long as fore wing, 2.5 times as long as hind tibia.

Colouration. Body (excluding wings and legs) black, except for: apical part of clypeus, mandible excluding tip and base, palpi, posterodorsal corner of pronotum, tegula, membranous parts of sternites and posterior part of subgenital plate yellowish-brown to yellow; flagellum and posterior margin of each metasomal tergites tinged with reddish-brown; scape and pedicel blackish-brown; ovipositor reddish-brown to yellowish-brown. Legs (hind leg: Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 E) reddish-brown, except for: fore and mid coxae and trochanters, all trochantelluses, base of all tibiae, all tibial spurs and basal area of hind TS1–TS4 pale yellow; hind femur darkened apically; subbasal band of hind tibia weakly tinged with black; apical part of hind tibia blackish-brown to black; hind tarsus blackish-brown to black with yellow areas on TS1–TS3 and slightly on TS4. Basal yellow area of TS1 large, ca. 0.6 length of TS1 and of TS2–TS4 shorter than each black area.

Male. Unknown.

Material examined. JAPAN: [Holotype] F, Shiga Pref., Kinomoto town, Mt. Hassotoge, about 1000m alt., 18–21. v. 1993, em. from Olethreutes moderatus, Y. S. Bae leg. ( NIAES).

Distribution ( Fig. 13 View FIGURE 13 ). Japan (Honshu).

Biology. The holotype was emerged from Olethreutes moderatus ( Lepidoptera : Tortricidae ).

Etymology. The specific name is from the type locality “Shiga Pref.”.

Remarks. This species has been confused with G. cymolomiae and its allied species but they can be distinguished from each other by the above key and Table 1 View TABLE 1 . This species also resembles G. caudate , but it can be distinguished by the basal yellow areas of TS1 0.6 length of TS1 (0.2 in caudata ) and the ovipositor slightly longer than fore wing (almost same length in caudata ).
