Distribution
The species has been recorded previously from the following North American, Australasian and European countries: Albania, Australia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, former Czechoslovakia, Finland, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Moldavia and Russia (Szabo 1966; Hellen 1971; Kozlov 1971, 1988; Masner 1983; Mineo 1989). Therefore, it is new for Portugal (Azores) and France.
Biology and Ecology
Hosts are unknown.
Description
Morphology. The species was redescribed by Masner (1961). Kozlov (1988), Kozlov and Kononova (1990) and Kononova (1992) illustrated male and female antennae and hind wing. Individuals (males and females) are often brachypterous. While the two collected females from Azores and Ireland showed normal wings, the three French females were brachypterous (Fig. 1A, B, D) and two out of the three French males were brachypterous(Fig. 1C, E). The normal wings of the third French male appear in figure 1F. Variations in male antennae were recorded in the French population (Fig. 2A, B), the funicular segments being more or less elongated as illustrated to originally distinguish between the two now synonymous species G. misellumHNS and G. investisHNS (Kozlov & Kononova1990; Kononova 1992). The female antenna and male genitalia appear in figures 2C and 3A, respectively. Abdominal sculpture is variable in the species (Mineo 1980; Masner 1983) and a French male abdomen was thus also figured (Fig. 2D).
