Diagnosis

G. misconspicua (Fig. 2 ) has the typical appearance of this genus. The dark brown parts of the forewing cilia on the outer margin of this species are the most developed within this genus, making it relatively easy to be distinguished. Additionally, regarding the male genitalia (Fig. 4 d ), the harpe of G. misconspicua is the shortest and the juxta is relatively the broadest. Uniquely, the coecum of the aedeagus is characteristically bone-shaped, while it is regularly bulb-like in the other two species.

Distribution

This species is only known from Lao Cai, Vietnam (Fig. 7 ).

Notes

The collection time information of the type specimen given in the original literature does not match the label.
