We have numerous specimens of G. (G.) incisa from the different populations and locations of the Afrotropical region including Ethiopia, therefore, we could compare its morphology with G. (G.) luisi . The new species can easily be distinguished from G. (G.) incisa by the larger body size (length: 495–525 versus 456–482), the morphology of the rostrum (protruding versus non protruding), the presence (versus absence) of a strong rostral bulge and a long longitudinal fold having short lateral branches in anteromedial part of the notogaster, the morphology of the notogastral porose areas Aa and A3 (clearly elongate oval versus circular), the absence (versus presence) of a median pore, and the location of the notogastral lyrifissure im (between setal alveoli lm and lp, distinctly distanced from them versus close and anterior to porose area A1) and leg famulus (close and anterolateral to solenidion ω 1 versus between solenidia ω 1 and ω 2).</p><p>Note: See Table 1 for explanations.</p><p>Etymology</p><p>This species is named in honour of the late Prof. Dr. Luis S. Subías, the Spanish acarologist, who previously identified this new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E025B554FFE96D0D6983FA4DFD0DADF5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
