It can be identified by the forewing cilia of the outer margin. The cilia are not truly chequered, the ochreous parts of the cilia are crescent-shaped and they connect in a wavy line. Regarding the aedeagus (Fig. 4 e, f), the ventral carinal bar is more developed than G. misconspicua, but inferior to G. medogensis, while the ventro-lateral plate is the most developed. Distribution This species is known from two localities in west of Sichuan (Mount Siguniang and Mount Erlang), China (Fig. 7). Notes There is some evidence suggesting that some specimens produced in Sichuan that were once identified as G. alternata are actually G. medogensis and we need more specimens from Sichuan to confirm this.
