Notes: a - Abund, relative abundance: C = common¾one can find many specimens; U = usual¾one can find when looking in the proper habitat during the appropriate season; I = infrequent¾not predictable; R = rarely seen; E = expected

b - Sites, collected or observed: 1 = Kanyawara; 2 = Dura River near Kanyanchu; 3 = Mpanga River at Sebatoli; 4 = Ngogo field station; 5 =Mainaro; 6 = Lake Nyabikere

c - Habitat: FI = forest interior; FE = forest edge, or opening; A = agricultural areas outside the forest, farmbush

d - Diel, time of activity: D = diurnal; N = nocturnal; DN = variably active either night or day

e - micro, microhabitat and vertical position: Aq = aquatic; L = forest leaf litter; T = terrestrial at forest edge or opening; A = arboreal; U = upland; S = swamp forest or valley bottoms; R = riparian or streamside; AL = semi-arboreal; AH = highly arboreal, in tree canopy

f - Food: I = insects; A = ants, F = fish

g - Rep. mode, reproductive strategy: Aq = eggs and larvae aquatic; ArAq = eggs arboreal, larvae aquatic; TrDd = direct developement; TrAq = eggs terrestrial, larvae aquatic; FoAq = arboreal foam nest, larvae aquatic

h - General distribution: based on Inger (1968); Laurent (1972); De Witte (1941); Schiøtz (1975)
