( Figs 104 View FIGURES 100 – 104 , 126 View FIGURES 121 – 130 , 147 View FIGURES 142 – 152 , 169 View FIGURES 167 – 174 , 190 View FIGURES 189 – 195 , 205 View FIGURES 200 – 207 , 213 View FIGURES 212 – 215 )

Diagnosis. This species is known only from males. As in G. setitarsus sp. nov., the male of G. jaziratensis sp. nov. has six long hyaline posterior spines on the protarsus ( Fig. 147 View FIGURES 142 – 152 ). However, it differs from the male of G. setitarsus sp. nov. by the absence of pubescence on the metapostnotum, symmetrical and not widened protarsomere 5 ( Fig. 147 View FIGURES 142 – 152 ), and the shape of the subgenital plate and genitalia ( Figs 205 View FIGURES 200 – 207 , 213 View FIGURES 212 – 215 ).

Description. Male. Body length 6.0– 6.5 mm. Structure: see Table 2. Coloration: Head black; mandible mostly yellow, orange apically; scape blackish-brown dorsally, orange ventrally; flagellum black. Mesosoma mostly black, except of brown lateral and posterior margins of pronotum; tegula light yellowish-orange to orange. Legs: Coxae mostly black, orange apically; trochanters black; profemur mostly black, narrowly orange apically; other femora black basally, orange apically; protibia mostly black, orange apically and basally; other tibiae mostly orange, black apically to mostly black, orange basally; tarsi mostly brown; tarsomere 1 orange-brown basally; spur of fore leg orange basally, brownish apically; other spurs brown; posterior spines on protarsomere 1 hyaline; other leg spines brown. Metasoma: Segment 1–3 orange, segments 4–7 mostly blackish-brown, yellowish-orange apically; T7 with large white spot. Setae: Head (posteriorly) and propleuron with fine short whitish setae.
