The genus was described by Josef Gandl in 1968, who assigned it to the family Phillipsiidae. This placement was challenged by Halszka Osmólska in 1970, who noted the similarity of Gitarra to the, then Proetidae, genera Griffithidella and Weania.[1]
Distributionedit
Gitarra has been found in the Carboniferous of Germany, and Spain.[1]
