Host plants. Salix spp. (Salicaceae).

Distribution. China (Henan, Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Xizang, Taiwan), Thailand, India, Nepal, Pakistan.

Remarks. This species was considered as a subspecies of G. simplana (Fischer von Röslerstamm) by Diakonoff (1964) based on the similarity of wing pattern and genitalia. Kawabe & Nasu (1994) upgraded it to species level based on the presence of a bifurcated uncus and a non-deciduous cornutus. Subsequently it has always been regarded as an independent species of Gibberifera (Liu & Li, 2002; Zhang & Li, 2004; Gilligan et al., 2018). The male genitalia of this species is characteristic by having the uncus shallowly or deeply bifurcated and the vesica with one or two non-deciduous cornuti.
