Diagnosis. Forewing R2+3 unbranched, R4+5 dichotomously branched. M three- branched, M2 forked. Hindwing M two-branched. Phallosome concave anteriorly, aedeagal arch projected in the middle, truncate. Anterior endophallic sclerites broadly triangular, with a slender arm projected posteriorly, distally acuminate. Posterior endophallic sclerites broadly U-shaped, with a truncate mesal projection directed outward, and a posterior, curved acuminate projection, directed outward. Similar to G. caucana n. sp., for differences with it, see diagnosis of the latter above.

Antennae pale brown. Maxillary palps pale brown, Mx4 dark brown. Thorax brown, tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax brown, with light brown spots, meso- and metapleura brown, with ochre spots. Legs: fore- coxae cream with pale brown spot basally, midcoxae brown; trochanters and femora cream; tibiae and tarsi brown. Forewings ( Fig. 67 ), brown, with cream areas as illustrated. Hindwings ( Fig. 68 ), almost hyaline, light brown, veins brown. Abdomen pale brown. Clunium and hypandrium brown. Phallosome with aedeagal arch and endophallic sclerites dark brown, external parameres cream. Epiproct and paraprocts pale brown.

Forewings ( Fig. 67 ): FW/W: 2.74; pterostigma long, wider in the middle: lp/wp: 4.0, areola postica tall, rounded: al/ah: 2.62. Hindwings ( Fig. 68 ): HW/w: 3.29. Hypandrium ( Fig. 71 ) almost rectangular, membranous, rounded posteriorly, with setae as illustrated. Phallosome ( Fig. 72 ); side struts slender; aedeagal arch as illustrated; external parameres membranous, joined to the side struts, wide basally, rounded posteriorly, without pores. Paraprocts ( Fig. 70 ), oval, with setae and macrosetae on distal field; sensory fields with 28 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct ( Fig. 70 ) semioval, rounded posteriorly, with two lateral macrosetae on posterior field, one macroseta mesally.
