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.
