Comments.

Most of the diagnostic characters that place this species in Gryon are visible in the holotype but the specimen is not entirely clean. In lateral view, the subgenual spines are apparent and the metapleuron is not dorsoventrally divided by a change in sculpture or setation. In dorsal view, the striation is visible in the anterior portion of the axillar crescent and the foveae along the anterior margin of T1 are uniform in size, ending sublaterally in a carina. The lateral pit on T1 is obscured. The anterolateral view of the head illustrates that the frons does not have macrosculpture.
