I have read (in this forum), G. minor is a synonym to G. maculata (if I remember correctly, stated by Nikita Vikhrev).

I still disagree. I interpret their result as follows: there is good species G. rufitibia and widespread and variable G. maculata, including all Arntfield's American "species". Which opinion to choose: up to you. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University
