Koch, v. <i>sublimbata</i> (sic!) – Silvestri 1896: 156 (F). <b>Type material:</b> Algeria, Philippeville (now Skikda), date?, leg. et det. Lucas?, ♁ lectotype (here designated) (MNHN CC 094), paralectotypes: 1 ♁, 4 &amp;female; (MNHN CC 094). The designation of a lectotype seems advisable in order to fix the type locality and to ensure that the name-bearing type shows the diagnostically important characteristics of the male sex, particularly as Lucas (1846) spoke about this species being recorded from several localities in Algeria. <b>Other material:</b> Algeria, loc.?, date?, leg.

Enghoff, 3 &amp;female; (ZMUC). <b>Short description:</b> Length up to 20 mm, width up to 10 mm. Coloration always brown-blackish, with 1+1 (adults) or 2+2 (some adults and all juveniles), more or less vague, greyish to brownish, marbled, lateral spots on terga 2(3)-11(12), pattern as in Figs 15-18. ♁ legs 17, 18 and 19 (telopods) as in Figs 19A-C. <b>Remarks</b>: The type series of <i>G. sublimbata</i> has faded completely, probably due to the long preservation in alcohol. Fortunately, most of the other samples from North Africa, especially fresh ones, have retained their coloration (Figs 15-17), which matches quite closely the pattern depicted by Lucas (1849), based on a then recently collected syntype (Fig. 18). We are certain, however, this species in Lucas’ (1849) Plate 1 was also printed or painted too dark compared to its natural coloration, since most probably Lucas used dry material which had become somewhat darkened. This species is certainly among the largest and darkest in North Africa. It resembles the widespread and similarly uniformly very dark Western European <i>G. marginata</i> (Villers, 1789), yet <i>G. sublimbata</i> belongs to the “ <i>Stenopleuromeris</i> ” type. On the other hand, the degree of development of the anterior part of tergum 3 in relation to its posterior part may again prove to vary even intraspecifically, as is apparently the case in <i>G. klugii</i> (see above).
