This earwig is found under litter of every sort, sometimes 

 under signs on trees and rarely in houses. It is more often 

 found inland than under drift on sea beaches. 



The species has been recorded from Philadelphia, Pennsyl- 

 vania, and the District of Columbia ; it should be considered 

 adventive at these places. The species is now known from 

 along the southern border of the United States, except in 

 trans-Pecos Texas, New Mexico and eastern Arizona. The 

 northernmost records, in addition to those given above, are : 

 Raleigh, North Carolina ; Camden and Columbia, South Caro- 

 lina ; Augusta and Macon, Georgia, and Montgomery, Ala- 

 bama. It is generally distributed and numerous in southern 

 Florida, the Florida Keys and southern coastal California.
