LaZarov <i>et al.</i> (2001): p. 22, misidentification. Komnenov <i>et al.</i> (2016): p. 48, figs 123–127 (&amp;male; &amp;female;), misidentification. <b>Types.</b> <i>Male holotype. Bulgaria:</i> Sredna GOra Mts, Panagyurishte (42.5096°, 24.1885°), tOwn park, 4 June 1996, 1 &amp;male;, leg. S. LazarOv, cOll. NMP. <i>Female allotype.

NMNHS. <b>Etymology.</b> Named after the Czech arachnOlOgist and Our friend, Jan DOlanský. <b>Diagnosis.</b> Males differ frOm thOse Of Other species Of the cOmplex in that they pOssess a very shOrt, tOOth-like tibial apOphysis (Fig. 1H) and an almOst straight embOlus (in cOntrast tO <i>G. alpica</i>, there is nO S shaped curvature On the base as in Other species, Fig. 1B). Females differ frOm thOse Of Other species in the cOmplex in that they have relatively lOng pOsterOlateral pOckets, with the lateral edges bent tOwards the inside (Fig. 2C) and they alsO have an almOst smOOth scapus (in Other species it is markedly wrinkled transversally), cOnverging tO the rear and lacking a cOnstrictiOn On its base fOund in Other species. <b>Description.</b> <i>Male holotype.</i> TOtal length 6.9. Carapace 3.6 lOng, 2.9 wide. Femur II 2.4 lOng. PrOsOma brOwn, Only femOra Orange brOwn, OpisthOsOma grey-black. FOr leg spinatiOn see the Table 1. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.10, ALE 0.15, PME 0.11, PLE 0.11; AME-AME 0.11, AME-ALE 0.06, PME-PME 0.04, PME-PLE 0.23, ALE-PLE 0.25; median Ocular quadrangle length 0.38, frOnt width 0.30, back width 0.25. Palp with almOst straight embOlus (Fig. 1B), median apOphysis in lateral view apically twisted, hOOklike (Fig. 1E); retrOlateral tibial apOphysis very shOrt, tOOthlike (Fig. 1H). <i>Female allotype.</i> TOtal length 9.0. Carapace 3.6 lOng, 2.7 wide. Femur II 2.0 lOng. PrOsOma brOwn, Only femOra Orange brOwn, OpisthOsOma grey-black. FOr leg spinatiOn see the Table 1. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.11, ALE 0.17, PME 0.13, PLE 0.11; AME-AME 0.11, AME-ALE 0.04, PME-PME 0.06, PME-PLE 0.21, ALE-PLE 0.25; median Ocular quadrangle length 0.40, frOnt width 0.30, back width 0.30. The pOsterOlateral pOckets Of the epigyne are lOng, with parallel lateral margins, bent tOwards the inside (Fig. 2C). The scapus is shOrt, cOnverging tO the rear and almOst smOOth, with the base clOse tO the pOsterOlateral pOckets. The median ducts Of the vulva cOnverge at the frOnt in an even manner (like the sides Of the letter A, Fig. 2G). <b>Remarks.</b> BOth sexes Of this species were described as <i>G. modestior</i> in the revisiOn Of the genus (OvtsharenkO <i>et al.</i> 1992). <b>Ecology and Distribution.</b> Open grassland habitats. Adults in late spring.
