A
very
similar
species
to
D.
pratti
from
the
Arfak
Mtns,
but
the
differences
and
isolation
from
D
.pratti
are
sufficient
to
permit
the
description
of
a
new
species.
If,
however,
an
intermediate
specimen
is
found
or
new
populations
in,
say,
the
van
Rees
or
Gouttier
Mountains,
then
we
may
have
to
reconsider.
