Hob. Southern India (Brit. Mus .). 
Whether this species is identical with G. terminalis, Lefev. from 
Hindustan it it impossible to say, as the author has not given any 
structural details ; he describes his species, however, as having- 
darkened antennoe and legs, an elytral apical large spot and 
scarcely perceptibly puncturing ; none of these characters applies 
to the single male specimen before me. 
Otherwise marJced.
