This species is closely related to the Bast Asiatic G. ohtusata Bohem., 

 but is not so broadly built and is easily distinguished by its darker head. 



Broad-oval shaped, slightly arched, glossy pale greenish-yellow, or on 

 the discal part of the upper side light brownish-yellow, the lateral slant 

 lighter, greenish or j'ellowish. Antennae reddish-yellow-brown, the last 

 joints broad and slightly darkened. Head pitch-brown, front nearly 

 smooth, the anterior margin evenly rounded {$), or drawn forward 

 above the head a little, the comers small, rounded and situated at about 

 two-thirds of the whole length. Elytra at the base slightly rounded, 

 the somewhat acute shoulders a little broader than the thorax, the 

 posterior portion slightly widened, then curved, posteriorly strongly nar- 

 rowed and the apices uniformly rounded. The discal part punctate- 

 striate, with a few regular, somewhat raised intermediate striae, the 

 slanting part not so closely and deeply punctate as the striae. The under 

 side and legs of a similar color to that of the upper side. Metathorax with 

 a broad transverse black stripe. The middle of the abdomen and espe- 

 cially toward the anterior half of it blackish diffused.
