« I found a single 9 of what is probably this siiecies under bark nearly a 

 mile from any houses near the little inland village of Jonesboro in South Illi- 

 nois. So far as I am aware, it does not occur anywhere in Illinois in houses. 

 Perhaps commerce may have introduced it at St. Louis, and it may have 

 spread thence into South Illinois. In North Illinois it does not occur at all, so 

 far as I know, though we have two species of Blattidaj there belonging to Mr. 

 Scudder's new genus Platamodes, and another which apparently must form a 

 new genus.
