Hi Karsten, from what I can see, it looks good for G. nitens:
- m-cu much steeper than the post-angular vein (not parallel)
- the petiole of R5 ends in the wing tip (T&H key).
But it should be only 2-4 mm long.

It was indeed tiny. In memory, I tend to overestimate the size once I have cropped photos... ;-)

Eric is right, no doubt.
