Remarks.The only previous reference of G. maculata in Argentina (Shannon & Del Ponte 1926) is a misidentification. We examined the specimens studied by these authors, and we identified them as G. auriceps . Marques & Couri (2007) presented a detailed redescription of this species. The immature stages are present in Skidmore (1985).

Biology. There is little information about this species. Several specimens studied in this work were collected on Conium maculatum L.
