Diagnosis. This species species is similar to G. kusigematii Terayama, 1999 from Japan by having basal triangle area on propodeal disc absent, by longitudinal smooth area which get wide distally on propodeal disc, but can be easily distinguished from it by mandible black (yellow in G. k u s i g e m a t i i), by compound eye with short hairs (compound eye without hairs in G. kusigematii), by transverse carina on propodeal disc present only postero-lateral corner (transverse carina complete in G. k u s i g e m a t i i).
Description. FEMALE (holotype). Body length 3.7 mm long. LFW 2.0 mm.
Color. Head: mandible black, antenna yellow except flagellomere 5 to 11 and dorsal surface of basal half of scape castaenous. Mesosoma: black; fore wing subhyaline, veins pale castaneous; legs castaenous except coxa, tibia and tarsi yellow; tarsal claw dark castaenous. Metasoma: dark castaneous except distal surface of terga 2 to terminal pale castaenous.
Head (Figs 26–28): 1.0 × as long as wide, coriaceous; lateral margin convex, posterior margin straight, postero-lateral corner forming round angle in dorsal view; lateral surface smooth and polished. Mandible with four minute teeth. Clypeus well-developed, frontal angle right; fronto-clypeal median longitudinal carina weakly developed, exceeding antennal socket. First antennal segment in ratio of 2.4: 1.1: 1.0: 1.2: 1.1 in length; from scape to flagellomere 3 and 11 2.2, 1.4, 1.4, 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 × as long as wide, Frons and vertex coriaceous with sub-erect and relatively dense punctures, aparted from each other by 1.0–2.0 × as wide as their maximum diameter. WF 1.3 × LE, WF 0.7 × WH. Compound eye 0.35 mm long with short erect hairs. LE 1.6 × OOL, WF 1.9 × WOT. Frontal angle of ocellar triangle obtuse, POL 2.3 × AOL, OOL 0.9 × WOT. Vertex coriaceous with four long hairs on occipital margin.
Mesosoma (Figs 29–31): Pronotum coriaceous, 0.6 × as long as wide with sparse hairs, antero-lateral corner obtuse. Mesoscutum coriaceous; notauli absent; parapsidal furrows thin and anteriorly divergent. Scutellum polish and coriaceous with sparse small punctures; scutellar pit elliptical, oblique and connected by 3.8 × as wide as their maximum diameter. Propodeal disc 0.5 × as long as wide, lateral carina complete, transverse carina present only postero-lateral corner; disc coriaceous except median longitudinal smooth surface, distally broaden in dorsal view; declivity coriaceous with complete marginal carina; lateral surface coriaceous. Fore wing with hairs and closed areolet; radial vein roundly curved; pterostigma 0.18 mm long; metacarpo absent.
Metasoma (Fig. 32): Tergite 1 smooth and polished without fine punctures and microreticulation. Terga 2–4 smooth and polished with very fine and few punctures and sparse hairs on lateral surface. Terga 5 to terminal with sparse hairs on distal surface.
MALE. Unknown.
Distribution. Korea (CN, GB, GG, GN, GW, JB, JN, Seoul).
