It differs from this species in the following characters:-Smaller size; no small chin-shields behind the symphysial; tubercles in 9 or 10 regular rows (in G. pelagicus this number is mostly larger); nostril bordered posteriorly by one shield (by 2 or 3 scales in G. pelagicus) ; male with a continuous series of 45 pranal and femoral pores (9 to 15 praanal pores in G. pelagicus).
