( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 F, 2 F, 3 E, 4 F, 6 F, 7 F)
Description: Female (n=1: HT). Body length 7.5 mm.
Head. Ca. 0.6 times as long as wide. Clypeus 0.8 times as long as wide, roundly convex in lateral view ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 F). Face slightly convex medially ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 F), 0.5 times as long as wide. Frons with a large median horn between each antennal socket, its apex relateively pointed ( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 F, 3 E). OOL 2.0 times as long as OD; POL 2.0 times as long as OD. Mandible with very narrow ventral flange by basal 0.5, its base slightly convex. MSL 1.0 times as long as BWM. Antenna with 32 flagellomeres. F1 1.4 times as long as F2.
Mesosoma. Densely punctate, punctures on lateral lobes of mesoscutum (excluding near notaulus) separated by 0.3–1.0 (usually ca. 0.6) times their diameter. Epomia obscure. Lateral area of pronotum entirely densely punctate. Both sides of mesoscutum near tegula weakly and obtusely produced posteriorly. Propodeum entirely densely punctate, median part slightly transversely striated. Anterior transverse carina of propodeum slightly present on lateral section. Lateromedian longitudinal carina of propodeum absent. Lateral longitudinal carina of propodeum slightly present on median section. Posterior transverse carina of propodeum complete. Fore wing length 6.0 mm. Fore coxa without ridge antero-dorsally. Hind femur 5.7 times as long as maximum depth in lateral view. Hind TS1 2.0 times as long as TS2.
Metasoma. T1–T4 densely punctate ( Figs. 6 View FIGURE 6. T 1 F, 7 F).T1 1.1 times as long as maximum width, its median dorsal carina present on ca. basal 0.6 of tergite ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6. T 1 F), longitudinally striated posteriorly. T2 0.9 times as long as maximum width. T2–T4 each with moderate a pair of oblique groove ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7. T 2 F). Ovipositor sheath ca. 0.9 times as long as fore wing, 2.4 times as long as hind tibia.
Colouration. Body (excluding wings and legs) black, except for: apical part of clypeus, tip of mandible, posterior margin of each metasomal tergite tinged with reddish-brown; flagellum blackish-brown, its ventral surface more or less paler than dorsal surface apically; palpi, posterodorsal corner of pronotum, tegula, membranous parts of sternites and posterior part of subgenital plate yellow to yellowish-brown; ovipositor reddishbrown to yellowish-brown. Wings hyaline, slightly tinged with yellow; veins and pterostigma brown except for yellow wing base. Legs (hind leg: Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 F) reddish-brown, except for: all trochanters and all trochanters, base of all tibiae yellow; hind femur more or less darkened apically; subbasal band of hind tibia weakly tinged with black; apical part of hind tibia black; hind tibia excluding yellow and black area yellowish-brown; hind tarsus blackishbrown to black with basal yellow areas on TS1–TS3 and slightly on TS4. Basal yellow areas of TS1 ca. 0.5 length of TS1 and of TS2–TS3 shorter than each black area.
Male. Unknown.
Material examined. JAPAN: [Holotype] 1F, Kagoshima Pref., Terayama, 8. v. 1970, K. Kusigemati leg. (KU).
Distribution ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 ). Japan (Kyushu).
Biology. Unknown.
Etymology. The specific name is from the dense body punctation.
Remarks. This species has been confused with G. cymolomiae and its allied species but they can be distinguished from each other by the above key and Table 1 View TABLE 1 . This species also resembles G. caudata Thomson 1889 and G. lapponica , but it can be distinguished by the mesosoma and metasoma densely punctate (relatively sparsely punctate in caudata and lapponica ), the hind coxa reddish-brown (black in lapponica ), and the ovipositor slightly shorter than fore wing (almost same length in caudata ).
