Type. Holotype in AMNH

Systematic history. Described as belonging to Eutocus , thereafter transferred by Evans (1955) to Lucida together with the description of this genus. All other authors mention the species in taxonomical comments, geographical distribution studies and catalogues.

Diagnosis. Very similar to G. tangerinii sp. nov. with respect to: the central and discal areas light brown or bluish between well marked bands; inner line of harpe with spines; posterior end of aedeagus with asymmetrical lobes, both rounded; and fultura inferior dorsally thin and straight. However, G. bocus comb. nov. can be distinguished by its greater forewing size, more produced harpe, ovoid elongated lateral expansion of lamella antevaginalis; posterior margin of sterigma with lateral projections separated by a U shaped concave margin; and presence of sclerotized grooves within the ductus bursae.

Geographical distribution and phenology. Coastal mountains of southeastern Brazil. BRAZIL: Espírito Santo, Santa Teresa (II, III). Minas Gerais, Campo Belo (XI). Rio de Janeiro, Itatiaia (I–IV, VII, XII), Petrópolis (I–IV, VIII, IX, XII), Rio de Janeiro (I, II, VII, VIII), Teresópolis (I–IV, XI, XII).

Altitude. 200–1600m

Examined material. AMNH (1), BMNH (1), DZUP (36), MGCL (17), IOC (7), MNRJ (10), USNM (11).
