General notes on the LocUSTIDAR (TETTIGONIIDAE). 
All of the above species were of the type with short 
fat bodies, all save one (176) of small size. Except for 
176 and 267 they were bright green and extremely pro- 
cryptic, but M. sometimes did not appear to eat them with 
much relish. In some cases the adult female is apterous. 
It is of interest that another type of Locustid with 
long slender bodies, also green and sometimes brown, 
very procryptic, was always found extremely edible by 
my monkey on L. Victoria, who would eat them until 
his overfilled stomach rejected them! One specimen was 
identified as Conocephaloides mandibularis Charp. These 
Locustids are known to the Baganda as “ Senene” and 
are esteemed by them as food. They often appear suddenly 
in long grass in large numbers.

248 | 504 Gryllus sp. | (6) 
This cricket, found by M., was half eaten, and discarded. 
Though monkeys may sometimes meet with crickets among 
dead leaves, etc., yet their nocturnal and burrowing habits 
render it unlikely that they serve as food to any extent. 
NEUROPTERA. 
Termitidae. 
92 | 198, 267 ? C + A species which comes 
out of its holes in the 
ground and runs about 
even in the sun. It 
makes no hills. 
Hemerobiidae. 
213 | 445, 450 | Hagenomyia tristis Walk. C + 
This Myrmeleonid had a smell somewhat like that of 
our lace-wing fly, and rather to my surprise it was eaten.
