Abstract
Jason G.H. Londt contributed almost a quarter of the KwaZulu-Natal Museum’s specimens of Cicadidae, including a strong sample of females, and probably the best set to date of African records of predation on cicadas by robber flies. The collection provides evidence that robber flies catch more male cicadas; speculatively, because attacks on the heavier-bodied female fail more often. The metadata derived from these specimens also provide a small gazetteer of Londt’s collecting sites.
Jason G.H. Londt贡献了夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省博物馆近四分之一的蝉科标本，其中包括大量的雌性蝉标本，而且可能是迄今为止非洲关于盗蝇捕食蝉的最佳记录。收集的证据表明，盗蝇捕获的雄性蝉更多;据推测，这是因为对体型较重的雌性的攻击更容易失败。来自这些标本的元数据还提供了Londt采集地点的小型地名表。
期刊介绍：
African Invertebrates is an international peer-reviewed, open-access journal that focuses primarily on the taxonomy, systematics, biogeography, and palaeontology of Afrotropical invertebrates, whether terrestrial, freshwater or marine. Aspects concerning biology, ecology, and conservation may also be considered where these relate to the primary focus areas. Papers dealing solely with biology, ecology, physiology, pests and pest control should be submitted elsewhere.
