Etymology. The species epithet is a noun in apposition, refers to the Caaguaras indigenous tribe, first inhabitants of São Francisco de Paula in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Diagnosis. Males of G. caaguara can be distinguished from all other Glenognatha species by the conspicuously rounded basal apophysis of the paracymbium (Fig. 73H). Females can be easily differentiated from all other Glenognatha (except G. gloriae) by having three promarginal and three retromarginal teeth (Figs. 72D–F); distinguished from G. gloriae by the slightly projected clypeus in lateral view (Fig. 71F).
