Not
G. martineki, but
G. nartshukae might be a possibility.

The part you would really want to look at is the last sternite, which is in most cases retracted in the abdomen, so not visible in pictures of live specimens. 'G. tripunctata' specimens with such an reddish/orange thorax need to be studied under the binocular to make sure with which species you are dealing.
