Comments: The female of G. baginei is similar to that of G. sensitivus Olmi, 1993 . The main differences concern the enlarged claw (with subapical tooth close to distal apex ( Fig. 7 ) in G. baginei, ZLWK VXEDSLFDO WRRWK IDUWKHU IURP GLVWDO DSH [(¿J. ƚƚ LQ 2OPL 1993) in G. sensitivus ) and lateral pointed apophyses of scutum (situated on sides of scutellum ( Fig. 9 ) in G. baginei , situated between scutellum and anterior margin of VFXWXP (¿J. ƚo LQ 2OPL ƚ99) LQ G. sensitivus ). The new species was compared with the holotype of G. sensitivus IURP 0DGDJDVFDU, 7 NP 6: 5DQRPDIDQD (8610).
