Type. Holotype in AMNH
Systematic history. Described as belonging to Eutocus Godman, 1901, thereafter transferred by Evans (1955) to Lucida together with the description of this genus. All other authors mention the species in taxonomical comments, geographical distribution studies and catalogues.
Diagnosis. Central and discal area fainted, instead of well delimited by marked bands as in G. awarreni sp. nov., G. b o c u s comb. nov., G. tangerinii sp. nov. and G. f i e d l er i sp. nov. Costal area red ferruginous from base to Sc end, instead of restricted at the base as G. ranesus and G. rogan. The lobes of posterior end of aedeagus are asymmetrical, the right triangular and left rounded. Vesica proximally lightly sclerotized as in G. awarreni sp. nov., G. b o c u s and G. tangerinii sp. nov., but thinner than in these species. Posterior margin of sterigma with both lateral and median reduced processes, which are never found together in the other species.
