The original description of G. attaleensis is based on a single female from "Topraktepe" (PACE 1983), although males are required to identify and interpret species of the subgenus Tropogastrosipalia . The species was subsequently tentatively interpreted by ASSING (2001) based on a male from the environs of Akseki. The above specimens are conspecific with this male.
An examination of the males in the material listed above revealed that the posterior margin of the pronotum may occasionally be weakly concave in the middle. In order to account for this variability, couplet 77 in the species key in ASSING (2009) is modified accordingly (see the key supplement in the section on G. pungens ).
