Material examined: 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀: ‘ CHINA, Gansu, Dalijia | Shan , 60 km W Linxia | 3475m, 11.VII.1994 | A.Smetana [C8 = specimens were taken from soaking wet moss in seepage on an almost vertical wall near a small river]’ (temporarily in CS, to be eventually deposited in NSMT) .
Remarks. Regarding coloration, size of the body ( 5.60–6.40 mm), the punctation and microsculpture of the forebody, the internal structure of the aedeagus, and the presence of short setae on medial edges of the parameres ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 4–10 ), the above specimens ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 ) are similar to G. amplissimus , from which they differ by less protruded anterior angles of the pronotum and a wider (deformed?) median lobe. Both males are partly damaged: one specimen lacks the left paramere ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 4–10 ); in the other male the apical part of the abdomen including the basal portion of the aedeagus is significantly damaged.
