Thanks for the additional resources. As far as I can tell, it still matches G. spectabilis. In addition to the other key:
- 1 row of genal setulae
- anterior orbital bristle at least 0.60 of the height of the posterior bristle
- thin dark brown stripe present between the dorsocentrals

However, I'm not quite sure if what I was looking at are the genal setulae and anterior/posterior orbital bristles. Is it 1 and 2 or 1 and 3? 3 is way shorter in other photos I checked that should be G. spectabilis, too. (see attached picture).
