Notes
editorial
Nesom (2004) has included G. subfalcata in G. antillana, but very "casually" (based on distribution only). Susana Freire et al. in South America (note that the type of G. subfalcata is from Argentina) are still treating these as distinct species. For the time beeing we will keep the New Zealand specimens as G. subfalcata.
