stated to be from Zanzibar. A third specimen, from Lindi, ex-Grerman 

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

 Mitt. Zool. ilus. Berl. vii, 1913, p. To, and I have examined a fourth, 

 procured by Mr. A. Loveridge at ^ilorogoro, es-G-erman East Africa. 

 G. hdzei (female) is from Tanga, and G. jyrasina (male) is from 

 TJsambara, both also in ex-Gi-erman East Africa. 



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

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

 individual and sexual differences.
