General remarks on DIPTERA. 
Flies are not likely to form the food of monkeys to any 
Obs. 338, 339, 340 show that M. caught 
and ate biting flies, but I think this was probably a means 
of disposal of unwelcome neighbours. 
The cases of the mimetic species 67 and 61 show that 
M. was deceived by resemblance to Hymenoptera; he did 
not refuse a non-mimetic Asilid. Nos. 30 and 223, both 
conspicuous, were refused; and the monkey evidently 
agreed with me that the Bromophila was a disgusting- 
looking insect !
