Taxonomy from Smith 2009. Diagnosis from Smith 2005, p. 222: "Differs from G. longicaudus Kuhn, 1944 in lacking a strong ventral expansion of the coronoid and in having a clavicle whose ventromedial expansion is most extensive at the level of the clavicular fenestra rather than dorsolateral to it. Differs from G. grisolli Augé, 2005 in having a broader nasal spine of the premaxilla and a weaker and more rounded subdental shelf anteriorly on the dentary. Differs from G. lamandini (Filhol, 1877) in having a more restricted Meckelian groove, a more delicate anteromedial process of the coronoid, and distinct anterolateral and posterolateral processes of the coronoid." Identified by Dr. Krister Smith, Senckenberg Research Institute. References: Smith, K.
