I have been obliged to alter the name as above, to prevent 

 confusion with my G. solomonensis, (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 

 lY., p. 314.) 



The young males resemble the females in having all the under 

 surface chestnut ; the adult male is of a deep bluish-slate colour, 

 with the under wing-coverts chestnut.
