CommentSynonymized with G. smithii by SMITH 1935, but considered as valid by BAUER et al. 2008. Revalidated by Grismer et al. 2022.

Distribution: see map in Grismer et al. 2022: 65 (Fig. 9).

Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). 
EtymologyNamed after Latin albus = white, and Latin fascia = band, apparently after the light dots on dorsum of this species that may sometimes look like forming a band.
