Comparative notes. As stated above, females of G. shakespearei and G. i n c er t a are considered as indistinguishable in this study. However, they are easily separable from females of G. kobzari, described below, because they have a uniformly dark mesosoma and the apical area of fore wing has distinct setation (Figs 1 C, E, 2C).
