In the short descriptions, quoted, I have not been able to find any 

 distinct differences between this species and G. geelvinkianus Peters 

 et Doria, also recorded from New Guinea, and it is possible that my 

 specimen might rather be referred to the last mentioned species. The

Two specimens, one of each species. They correspond completely

with Mehely's descriptions (loc. cit) which he gave when he considered 

 these two species only as different sexes of L. mivarti Blgr. As the 

 specimens in question are, the one a male, the other a female with the 

 differences of the colour-pattern just as stated by Mehely, I believed 

 to begin with his opinion to be right and regarded both specimens as 

 L. mivarti. A closer examination revealed, however, other differences 

 than those of the colour-pattern and they appeared to me to be rather 

 too important to be only sexual ones. By Werner's paper, quoted 

 above, which I had the opportunity of seeing shortly afterwards it became
