Comment:   G. intermedius is the eastern from of G. nigrolineatus. G. nigrolineatus is still a valid name for Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, ect. Why have G. nigrolineatus been removed from the list. This should be either G.nigrolineatus or G. multilineatus.

Comment:   G. nigrolineatus was originally removed because all of the material in the VM at the time was referable to G. intermedius. Administratively, it was a lot easier to change one name then create a new name and transfer all the records across. The plan was to add G. nigrolineatus (sensu stricto) when we got a submission of that species, and I will ask Rene to add this species again.

Comment:   This could be rather G. multilienatus than G. nigrolineatus. The issue is still unresolved re these guys in Angola.
