based on a misidentification. On the other hand, I find that 

 Hartley 1 1235 from near the type locality agrees remarkably well 

 with Schlecter's original description; therefore I am selecting it 

 as a new neotype. I have identified the Womersley specimen with 

 G. subalpina van Royen extending its range eastward from the 

 type station on Mt. Wilhelmina in Irian Java.
