Comments.

The head of the holotype male is slide-mounted and crushed. However, the distinctive shape of the clypeus found in Gryon and facial striae are visible on both sides of the head. The image of the dorsal meso- and metasoma shows the carina on T1 that is directly medial to the lateral pit that is diagnostic for Gryon , although the pit itself is not visible. This image also appears to show a subgenual spine on the right tibia.
