Material examined. 2♂, 1♀, Pakistan: Punjab: Murree Hills, 2291m, 26 July 2017, coll. Hassan Naveed. 4♂, 1♀, Pakistan: Azad Jammu & Kashmir: Rawalakot, 1638m, 9 August 2017, coll. Hassan Naveed.
Distribution. Pakistan, India, China.
Remarks. Pruthi (1930) described the species G. minorcephala from Murree Hills (Pakistan). Here we have collected the specimens from the species type locality (Jhika Gali, Murree Hills) for the first time since Pruthi. This species is similar to G. intermediata in general appearance and male genitalia but can readily be distinguished by the latter having the aedeagal shaft with lateroapical spines well separated from each other.
