stated to be from Zanzibar. A third specimeu, from Liudi, ex-G-erman 

 East Africa, preserved in the Berlin Museum, is recorded by Nieden, 

 Mitt. Zool. Mus. Berl. vii, 1913, p. 75, aud I have examined a fourth, 

 procured by Mr. A. Loveridge at Morogoro, ex-German East Africa. 

 G. hitzei (female) is from Tanga, and G. prasina (male) is from 

 TJsambara, both also in ex-Grermau East Africa. 



Although I have not seen the types of the two species referred to in 

 the svnonymy, I entertain no doubt that they are based on mere 

 individual and sexual differences.
