This can't be the form quadrimaculatus, as this form comes from 'quadri' = four and 'maculatus' = with spots. Meaning the one with 4 spots on elytra (the 2 big black close to bases and the 2 big black apical ones) and noone other, -all the rest elytra surface of quadrimaculatus is white. For the pictured male G. goliathus the f. hieroglyphicus makes sense.
