Mixed Diglossini, Aug. 4, 1965, XI.  (99)

encounters between the two species must be due to "lapses" by Aters. Probably usually (not necessarily always) failures to move away "in time". Sometimes, Lafs and Aters seem to ignore one another when close together. At other times (more often?), Laf(s) supplants and/or chases Aters. Aters do not resist.

^[[Laf Cy]] Laf x Cy. Territories at least partly overlapping. Laf apparently attracted by sight and/or sound of Cys. Attraction probably essentially hostile.

^[[Laf Cinn]] Laf x Cinnamon. Territories completely overlapping. But I have yet to see an overt reaction between individuals of the two species.

^[[Laf VB]] Laf x VB. Territories at least adjoining. No reaction seen between the two species.

^[[Ater Cy]] Ater x Cy. Territories at least partly overlapping. Ater apparently attracted by sight and/or sound of Cys. Attraction probably essentially hostile.

^[[Ater Cinn]] Ater x Cinnamon. Territories completely overlapping. Lots of overt hostility between the two species. Sometimes Ater chases Cinnamon. Sometimes Cinnamon chases Ater. (It is my impression that the Cinnamon is the more "active" partner in this relationship. Probably more likely to avoid Ater than Ater is likely to avoid it. Probably usually the initiator of overt fights. Possibly Aters seldom or never attack Cinnamons unless the latter attack first.)

^[[Ater VB]] Ater x VB. Territories at least broadly overlapping. Apparently no hostility between the two species.

^[[Cy Cinn]] Cy x Cinnamon. Territories at least partly overlapping. Cinnamon apparently attracted by sight and/or sound of Cys. Attraction
