Diagnosis. Differs from both congeners in the structure of the angiocoxites 1, which are almost the same width in their entire length, with an acuminate distal part bent laterad vs. distal processes reduced, with lateral bumps in G. comasi , or long and sigmoid in G. reipi sp. nov. The anterior part of the mesal bursal valve in G. karinae sp. nov. is subquadrangular with convex lateral margins, vs. heart-shaped in G. comasi or quadrangular with straight lateral margins in G. reipi sp. nov. Additionally, G. karinae sp. nov. differs from G. comasi by subtriangular vs. rounded lateral parts of the colpocoxites in posterior view, or by less differentiated coxal processes on leg-pairs 7 and 11 compared to G. reipi sp. nov. Significant differences also exist in the shape of the posterior part of the medial bursal structure of the vulvae in all three species.
Name. The new species is named in honour of colleague and friend, myriapodologist Karin Voigtländer (SMNG), one of the collectors. A noun in the genitive case.

Leg-pair 11 with coxal sacks and with short nippled subtriangular coxal process ( Fig. 4D View FIGURE 4 ).
ANTERIOR GONOPODS ( Figs 4E View FIGURE 4 , 5A–F View FIGURE 5 , 6A–D View FIGURE 6 ). Gonopodal sternum (S) rather poorly developed, mainly membranous, distomedial parts forming round aperture and merging with gonopods. Coxites (Cx) more or less spoon-shaped, wide in lateral view, supporting two pairs of angiocoxites. Anteromedial pair (= angiocoxite 1) (A1) almost the same width in its entire length, with somewhat narrower proximal parts; distal process (dA1) acuminate and bent laterad; posterior process (pA1) well-developed, somewhat claw-like in lateral view, closely fitting against lateral sides of distal extension of colpocoxite (deC). Angiocoxites 2 (A2) divided into two branches, anterior branch (aA2) consisting of several flagelloid processes with denticulated posterior margins distally; posterior branch (pA2) long, acuminate, with longitudinal striations, leans on flagelloid processes closing a canal between; both pA1 and pA2 are directed mesad, and slightly posteriad with overlapping distal parts; A2 outgrows all other parts of anterior gonopods. Colpocoxites (C) massive, strongly developed, chitinized; consist of smaller basal protrusions (bc) roundish in lateral view and merged with main massive structures whose distal extensions (deC) are in form of elongated horns strongly bent anteriad and closely fitting against mesal sides of pA1; posterior mesal protrusions (pC) rounded and laterally flattened with circular membranous remnants (ms) on lateral sides. Between A2 and C, laterally, structure with large number of long, branched hair-like outgrowths (ho) presents.
POSTERIOR GONOPODS ( Figs 4F View FIGURE 4 , 5G, H View FIGURE 5 , 6E, F View FIGURE 6 ). Gonopodal sternum (S) poorly developed, membranous, leaving both gonopods almost free; only chitinized part is pair of anterior concave bulges (cb) for accommodation of proximal (basal) parts of posterior gonopods. Coxotelopodites (Ct) massive, without articulation, distally with long setae, while mesally, in upper half, with two striking acuminate horns (h); basomesally with partially chitinized colpocoxites (C) both mainly with one long distal seta and slightly serrated mesal margins. Coxotelopodites subdistally with brownish or blackish pigment remnants (pr). Distal half of Ct slightly curved posteromesad.
LEG- PAIR 3 IN FEMALE ( Fig. 4A View FIGURE 4 ). With lateral sternal lobes.
VULVAE ( Fig. 5I View FIGURE 5 , 6G View FIGURE 6 ). With well-developed wrinkled postgenital membranous structure (Pgm) covering posterior and partially lateral parts of bursae (B). Lateral valves of B with sharp denticles postriorly and spicule-like outgrowths in distoposterior half; distoanteriorly wrinkled with ca seven long setae. Mesal valves of B completely merged, only with anterior fissure as evidence of former separation; anterior ⅔ wrinkled distally with long setae and convex lateral margins; posterior ⅓ separated from rest by shallow depression and represents striking unpaired medial structure (mbs) with two lateral lobes clearly separated by groove. Operculum (O) bilobed.
Remarks. The structure that we think could be a sperm was observed in the base of the posterior gonopods ( Fig. 5G View FIGURE 5 , highlighted square). Such structures were observed on the vulvae of G. reipi sp. nov. (see below under remarks of this species).
Distribution. So far, known only from a few localities in the Navarre Province, close to the border with Gipuzkoa Province ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 , green circles).
