Diagnosis: 4.7–5.5 mm. Surface dull. Clypeal teeth lacking, but clypeal emargination clearly rounded, widely V-shaped and with bottom declivitous (Fig. 57). Elytral striae not punctured. Male apical tooth of metatibia flattened. Parameres as in Fig. 58.

Remarks: This species is undoubtedly related to G. medinae , based on secondary sexual characters, but shares with G. paranense the absence of clypeal teeth.
