Loggerhead Key, Dry Tortugas, Fla., July 8, 1912. Few seen in 

 house. 



The present species infests larders and kitchens throughout this 

 region. 

 Neoblattella" detersa^ (Walk.). 



Homestead, Fla., July 11, 1912; 1 9. 



A single specimen of this tropical species was found in spider webs 

 at the railroad station, where it had probably flown attracted by the 

 lights. 



Supella'' supellectilium (Serv.). 



Key West, Fla., July 4-7, 1912; 8 c^, 4 9 , 1 n. 



One specimen of this circumtropical species was taken in a fruit 

 store, while the others of the series were captured at night in the 

 Hotel Jefferson in the rooms and kitchen cupboards. The males 

 occasionally appeared in lighted rooms running about with extreme 

 rapidity and often taking flight. The females were all taken in 

 cupboards where Blattella germanica was found in swarms. 



The only previous record of the present species from the United 

 States is that of Rehn,i*' as Saussure's synonymous Phyllodromia 

 cuhensis, from Miami, Fla. 

 Ceratinoptera lutea (S. and Z.). 



Homestead, Fla., July 10, 1912; 1 9. 



Key West, Fla., July 7, 1912; 1 9 , 2 n. 



The adult from Homestead was taken from under a board on very 

 wet ground on the prairie-like everglades, while nymphs were found 

 frequently under bark on decaying pine logs in the pine woods. 

 At Key West nymphs were occasional in the leaf mold in the heavier 

 jungle-like scrub. 



Leurolestes pallidus^' (Brunncr). 



Phoetalia Icevigala of authors (not Blatta laevigata, Beauv., 1805). 



Key West, Fla., July 4-7, 1912; 16 cf , 25 9 , 9 n.

8 Records of Blattella {Neoblattella) adspersicollis (Stdl) from the United States 

 all apply to this species. Material recently received from Brazil shows A'', adsper- 

 sicollis to be a very different insect.

» Aevpo^, flat, >r/(yT?/g, plunderer. The authors propose this name to replace 

 Wattenwyliella which was recently erected by them to replace " Plvjetalia" of 

 authors {Entom. News, XXV, pp. 216, 217, May, 1914) . The name Wattenwijliella, 

 however, was proposed in the month of April, 1914, by Carl {Revue Suisse de 

 Zoologie, XXII, p. 174) for a member of the Pseudophyllina; from Madagascar, 

 in consequence of which preoccupation, we here propose Leurolestes.
