Pulling the tail on this one
Fortunately this is a male..which means pulling the tail on this one would help immensely (Can see just a bit of it in the dorsal view)...The keys for this genus rely heavily on male genitalia :) You really need access to a good scope (at least 50X or higher magnification) to see elytral microsculpture on these guys.

Thinking
G. picipes, but I can't tell if there is microreticulation on the elytra or not. The elytra appear pretty smooth, though.

Moving
to genus page for now. Which species would microreticulation indicate?
