Material examined. Type: holotype ♀: SRI LANKA: Ratnapura District , Gilimale Induruwa Jungle, 13.III.1979, K. Krombein leg. ( USNM) . Other material.

Hosts. Unknown.

Distribution. Sri Lanka (Ratnapura, Matale).

Remarks. The female specimen from Sri Lanka, 07°57'N 80°46'E, has 5-segmented maxillary palps; the palpal formula 5/2 is typical of the group 10 (former genus Donisthorpina Richards ); for this reason, G. lankae is also included into group 10.
