Mas., tibiis anticis dente apicali emarginato, subtus denticulis 7 in- 
structis ; femoribus posticis margine postertore wrequlariter serrato. 
Femina latet. 
Habitat, Persath (T. Deyrolle). 
This species is narrower (the elytra especially being narrower in 
comparison with the thorax), more elongate, and more parallel than G. 
pyreneus ; it has the sculpture of the upper surface less marked, while 
that of the hind-body beneath is dense throughout, as in true vernalis. 
With vernalis, however, it cannot be confounded on account of its form, 
its impunctate upper surface, and the rather less rounded posterior 
angles of its thorax. Though I have seen only one (male) individual, I 
entertain no doubt of its being a distinct species.
