This splendid species differs from G. robustus in very much 
greater size, paler color, smoother texture, different form of 
pronotum and supra-anal lamina, the hindangles of the seventh 
segment of the female alone bearing a curved spine, and the 
dentate hindmargin of the sixth segment of the male. The 
dissimilarity in size of the two sexes, of which two pairs were 
‘xefore me, is very remarkable. 
Ihe species is the largest and bulkiest Blattarid among the 
Australian representatives so far as I am acquainted with them, 
and is probably not exceeded by any species elsewhere.
