  Notes. 
  — 
  At 
  El 
  Cermeno 
  this 
  species 
  was 
  found 
  between 
  the 
  broad 
  

   sheaths 
  of 
  old 
  fronds 
  and 
  the 
  trimks 
  of 
  coconut 
  palms 
  roughly 
  5 
  years 
  

   old, 
  and 
  also 
  under 
  boards 
  resting 
  on 
  the 
  ground. 
  On 
  Barro 
  Colorado 
  

   Island 
  it 
  was 
  usually 
  met 
  with 
  under 
  logs 
  and 
  stones 
  and 
  occasionally 
  

   with 
  the 
  ground-termite 
  stakes. 
  At 
  Ancon 
  it 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  earth 
  to 
  

   the 
  depth 
  of 
  about 
  1 
  foot 
  about 
  roots 
  of 
  papaya.
