BIOTIC ASSOCIATIONS OF COCKROACHES — ROTH & WILLIS 4I 



Cariblatta imitans 

 Panama. — Among loose leaves on leaf mold in heavy jungle 

 (Hebard, 1916a). 



Cariblatta insularis 



Jamaica. — One of the most frequently encountered orthopterous 

 insects in bromeliads on trees (Hebard, 1916a, 1917; Rehn and 

 Hebard, 1927). 



Cariblatta jamaicensis 



Jamaica. — In decaying herbage (Rehn and Hebard, 1927). 



Cariblatta landalei 



Jamaica. — All specimens taken from under drying bracts of banana 

 blossoms (Rehn and Hebard, 1927). 



Cariblatta lutea lutea 



North Carolina. — Under pine straw on ground in woods (Brimley, 

 1908). 



Southeastern U.S. — Under dead oak leaves ; under dead needles in 

 longleaf-pine woods ; in wire grass ; under refuse ; beaten from under- 

 growth in pine and oak woods (Rehn and Hebard, 1916). In under- 

 growth of shortleaf-pine, longleaf-pine, and oak woods; in heavy 

 scrub in damp spot of sand dune area ; from high bushes, Ilex coriacea 

 [ = lucida] along inland swampy area (Hebard, 1916a). "The species 

 is in large part terrestrial, being usually found among dead leaves and 

 litter on the ground. Occasional specimens are, however, sometimes 

 beaten from bushes. Individuals are decidedly active and are usually 

 to be found in the greatest numbers in sandy situations" (Hebard, 

 1917). 



Florida. — Throughout winter and spring they are frequent beneath 

 leaves and other debris on ground, especially in dry, sandy locations 

 (Blatchley, 1920). Friauf (1953) found this species under debris, 

 fallen leaves, leaf mold, or decaying wood in these habitats: Dry, 

 ruderal grassland (infrequent), scrub (frequent), sandhills (domi- 

 nant), xeric hammock (infrequent), mesic hammock (dominant), 

 pond margin (infrequent), longleaf-pine flatwoods (frequent), bay- 

 head (occasional), low hammock (frequent), and alluvial hammock 

 (occasional). In the shrub stratum in these habitats: Scrub (fre- 

 quent), sandhills (dominant), and xeric hammock (infrequent). In 

 herbaceous stratum in these habitats: Sandhills (dominant), mesic 

 hammock (dominant), and black-pine flatwoods (infrequent). On
