While the number of setae in both sexes and their arrangement in the female on sternite II agree closely with that of assamensis the number on sternites III-VII or VIII differs somewhat, that of the central anterior ones (1-5, x 2-25 (8)) on sternite III in the male and in the genital region ($ 11-16, x 12-66 (9); <$ 13-20, x 17 (8)) being some- what smaller.

The specimens from G. I. diardi also resemble assamensis in the male genitalia and the shape of the metatasternal plate, but differ in having tergum I slightly enlarged in the female, less pronounced serrations of the vulval margin medially and the hypopharynx slightly less reduced in both sexes (PI. 1, fig. 57). In these also the spermathecal duct opens in a bursa copulatrix. The measurements also agree well with assamensis, except for post-spiracular seta III which tends to be shorter. Figs 29-31.
