Description. Male described by Schenkel (1963) and female described by Ovtsharenko et al. (1992).
Comment. Male of this species is similar to those of G. koponeni sp. n. and can be recognised by shorter tibial apophysis, smooth retrobasal edge of cymbium, very small or lacking spines on retrolateral side of embolus and strong tooth (spur, Sp) on the prolateral edge of embolic base. Shape of the embolic spur is variable (cf. Figs 16–17, 19, 22–24). Females of this species are distinct, due to the shape of epigyne.
The exact type locality of this species was not accurately recorded and only given as “Tal des Sining ho unterhalb Sining, Kansu” (=Valley of Sining River below Sining, Gansu). Sining refers to the modern city Xining. Distribution. This species is known from Tuva, Mongolia and Gansu (Map 1).
