Key to males of Goja
(Modified from Casasola González & García Aldrete, 2002)
G. bimaculata, G. pallida and G. trinidadensis, all by Casasola González & García Aldrete, 2002, are not included because only females are known. G. camachensis n. sp., is not included because it lacks the distal part of the hindwing. G. poblana Casasola González & García Aldrete is not included because the male genitalia is missing.
