Resumen
The first documentation on the territorial behaviour of Otocryptis wiegmanni Wagler, 1830 is reported here mainly from Dombagas-kanda Proposed Forest Reserve, Sri Lanka. In addition, more than twenty five observations on territorial behaviour of O. wiegmanni observed during the past five years were included into this analysis. In this study, we investigated the territorial behaviour by focusing on five steps of the whole behaviour pattern that consist of attacking, appalling, struggling, savaging and chasing.
