Stalk originating 3 and 4 ; a curved continuation of the cross vein closes 

 the cell ; 6 and 7 on a long stalk out of the end of the subcostal, the stalk 

 forking about half way to the margin ; 8 out of the subcostal about one- 

 third from base. 



The above notes are from a male, G. hopfferi. The exact relation of 

 the very variable forms of the species is not at all settled, and there may 

 be more or fewer species than are now recognized.

It is highly probable that Mr. Stretch is correct in referring hopfferi to 

 this species ; but as Mr. Grote still lists them as distinct, and I have not 

 studied the forms myself, I follow Mr. Grote for the present.
