Diagnosis. Males of this species ( Fig. 21C ) are very similar to those of G. cornuta sp. n. with which they share conspicuous chromatic traits, such as the longitudinal yellow streaks of the head and pale anterolateral markings of the abdominal terga ( Fig. 23R ). They however differ from this species by the notably larger size (body length in cornuta <70.0 mm) and slenderer shape with longer and more delicate legs (mesothorax 9.5x longer than prothorax vs. 7.5x in cornuta ), apically widened anal segment ( Fig. 23S ; narrowed in cornuta ) and shorter poculum, which has the posterior margin not triangular and not notably protruded medially ( Fig. 23T ). The distinctive ♀♀ are well characterised and distinguished from all other known ♀♀ of the genus by the prominent, bi- or trifid sub-basal lobe of the two outer ventral carinae of the meso- and metafemora ( Figs. 21E–F ) as well as the short subgenital plate ( Figs. 22M–O ), that projects beyond the apex of the abdomen by no more than the anal segment.

Variability. Females of this species show a wide range of variability in size, colour, armature of the head as well as the size and shape of the lobes of the meso- and metafemora. The general colour ranges from green (holotype) over ochre to various tones of grey and brown. The small ♀ from El Dorado in the collection in MNHN (body length 120.0 mm including subgenital plate) and two of the ♀♀ in the collection of MNHU have a distinct and well defined black medio-longitudinal stripe along the pro-, meso- and metanotum ( Fig. 21B ). The El Dorado specimen in MNHN specimen is remarkable for having the sub-basal ventral lobes of the mesofemora very prominent and just unevenly shaped but not distinctly bi- or trifid as in all other known specimens ( Fig. 21A ). The corresponding lobes of the metafemora however, are much less developed than in the other specimens examined and merely represented by a weakly rounded deflexion. The ♀ in the collection of ANSP lacks the lobes of the metafemora completely and the ♀ from Rio Ampaiyacu in MNHN has all these lobes on both the meso- and metafemora marked with distinctive black downward directed stripes ( Fig. 21E ). The cephalic armature is either represented by a pair of obtuse tubercles or conical spines. Males are much less variable morphologically but vary slightly in colouration. The ♂ from Rio Yubineto in the collection of MNHN is worth mentioning because it is much darker than all other examined ♂♂ and rather dark brown in colour with the pale anterolateral markings of the abdominal terga very faint. Measurements are presented in table 4 below .

Comments. The collection of MNHU contains three ♀♀ and two ♂♂ from Santo Antonio de Ica , Brazil, one ♂ and ♀ of which are labelled “in copula”. This allows a confirmed matching of sexes and shows B. amazonica is the previously unknown ♂ of B. cyrtocnemis , and hence a synonym (syn. n.). The ♀ holotype of cyrtocnemis is wrongly labelled “ Bacteria laticauda ” and since the OUMNH collection-label for cyrtocnemis is attached to the ♂ holotype of Bacteria laticauda Bates 1865 the labels have obviously been permuted between these two specimens. The ♂ in the collection of MUJ is the first record of G. cyrtocnemis from Colombia. Eggs unknown .
