Hmmm. To be honest, you would need to collect such a specimen to be entirely sure because you need to study sternite 8 which is normally retracted. I don't think it's
G. balachowskyi though. Probably either
G. hackmani or
G. martineki. My guess (but it's really a guess) would be
G. martineki. The females of
G. balachowskyi in most cases (but not always) have a banded abdomen.
