380 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [May, 



The series was taken in a fruit store where the species was common 

 in a pile of old burlap bags and in cracks under the stands which it 

 shared with one fairly large colony of BlatteUa germanica, occasional 

 specimens of Holocompsa nitidula, a few specimens of Periplaneta 

 americana, and one specimen of Supella supelledilium. The present 

 species was previously known from the United States from a single 

 female taken on Key Largo, Fla. 



A single female was captured which had just moulted into the 

 adult condition, this specimen was uniform pale straw color. 

 Nymphs of this species are above bay in coloration, below more 

 tawny, especially on the limbs, while that portion of the head from 

 the interantennal space to the clypeal suture is very dark; the 

 entire dorsal surface of these nymphs is rough, much as are the 

 distal abdominal segments in nymphs of Pycnoscelus surinamensis. 



Eurycotis floridana (Walker). 



Homestead, Fla., July 10-12, 1912; 1 c^, 1 9 , 1 n. 



Detroit, Fla., July 12, 1912; 1 n. 



Key West, Fla., July 3-7, 1912; 2 n. 



The single specimen from Detroit was found concealed in an 

 epiphyte (Tillandsia fasciculata) , growing on the limb of an oak in 

 "hammock" land. Two specimens were taken revealed by a 

 flash-lamp at night; an adult climbing on the trunk of a pine at 

 Homestead and a nymph climbing about in a clump of weeds over a 

 foot from the ground at Key West. It appears that this species 

 moves about at night, hiding under bark of logs and in other recesses 

 during the day. Where pines were present individuals of this 

 species have almost invariably been found hiding under the bark 

 of dead logs and stumps of this tree. 



Periplaneta americana (Linn.). 



Homestead, Fla., July 10-12, 1912. 



Big Pine Key, Fla., July 6, 1912; 1 d". 



Key West, Fla., July 4, 1912; 1 9 . 



One specimen was found in a spider web at Homestead Station 

 where the species swarmed at the boarding house. The species was 

 very abundant in a quarter-boat at Pine Channel and a few adults 

 but many nymphs were present in refuse under the stands in a fruit 

 store at Key West. 



Periplaneta australasiae (Fahr.). 



Homestead, Fla., July 10-12, 1912; 1 c^, 1 9 . 

 Big Pine Key, Fla., July 6, 1912; 1 9 . 

 Key West, Fla., July 4, 1912; 1 d', 2 9 , 2 n.
