Distribution.Holarctic. Taxonomic notes. Kolenati (1846)described G. glacialisfrom Kazbek ("montis Kasbek Caucasi centralis"). Erichson (1846)synonymized this species with Oligota subtilis Erichson 1837; in 1849 he synonymised Microcera inflata Mannerheim 1830with O. subtilistoo. Kraatz (1856) found Microcera inflatato be Oligota. Following the priority rule, O. subtilisis regarded as an junior synonym of O. inflata( Mannerheim 1830), and G. glacialiswas removed in synonyms of the last one ( Schülke & Smetana 2015). Hochhuth (1849), based on his own material, provided a redescription of G. glacialis Kolenati 1846and noticed that if his material does not belong to G. glacialis, it must to a new species. Later, G. glacialis Hochhuth 1849(nec Kolenati, 1846) was synonymized with G. strictula Erichson 1839by Reitter (Heyden & al. 1883).
Remarks.The first record of G. strictulafor the Caucasian Region ("Helenendorf") was published by Eppelsheim (1878). Leder (1886) recorded this species from Lenkoran. Jacobson (1909) combined these records in FIGURES 64–69. his catalogue and recorded G. strictulafor Elisbethopol and Talysh. Nikitskiy & al. (2008)recorded it for Guzeripl´ village.
