This species is closely allied to G. substi'iatus Har., from which it differs 

 especially in the flattened mandibles of the male, in the antennae of the male being 

 mnch longer than the body, in the elytra having slight traces of raised lines only 

 in the middle of tlic disc, and very faint and scarce rugosities in both sexes, so 

 that the elytra are mnch more shining than in C substriafus Har. ; the prothorax 

 of the male toothed at the sides in front of the sinus, that of the female with the 

 whole front part denticnlated, and with a small sinns behind the anterior angles ; 

 the punctuation of the abdomen is finer than in C. siibstriatiis Har.
