bare soil or bare sand under vegetation in these habitats: Sandhills 

 (dominant), pond margin (infrequent), longleaf-pine flatwoods (fre- 

 quent), and slash-pine flatwoods (frequent) (Friauf, 1953). 



Cariblatta lutea minima 



Florida. — Series of specimens captured on Long Key under dead 

 petioles of coconut palm on moist ground at edges of pools of brackish 

 water. Specimens from Key West were in dry dead grass under 

 boards (Rehn and Hebard, 1912). Nymphs frequent under bark on 

 decaying pine logs in pine woods ; occasional in leaf mold in heavy 

 junglelike scrub (Rehn and Hebard, 1914). In water-soaked leaves 

 in heavy red-mangrove swamp (Hebard, 1915). Under dead petioles 

 of coconut palm on sandy soil in grapefruit grove (Hebard, 1916a). 

 Numerous at bases of tufts of coarse grass growing just back of sea 

 beach (Blatchley, 1920). Friauf (1953) found this species in leaf 

 duff, leaf mold, debris, or decaying wood in these habitats : Dry, 

 ruderal grassland (occasional), scrub (infrequent), sandhills (in- 

 frequent), mesic hammock (infrequent), pond margin (occasional), 

 longleaf-pine flatwoods (occasional), and low hammock (infrequent). 

 On bare soil or bare sand under vegetation in these habitats : Longleaf- 

 pine flatwoods (occasional) and slash-pine flatwoods (occasional). 

 Dominant in the spartina marsh habitat in the grass stratum and 

 duff around clumps. Frequent in the saw-grass marsh habitat in the 

 grass stratum and, during the dry season, in decaying vegetation on 

 the marsh floor. 



Cariblatta nebulicola 



Jamaica. — Adults in dead leaf litter alongside the trail in dense 

 forest of tree ferns, Podocarpus, Cyrilla, and other trees ; the forest 

 was bathed in fog much of the time (Rehn and Hebard, 1927). 



Cariblatta reticulosa 



Jamaica. — In leaves on leaf mold in hillside forest (Hebard, 19163). 

 Moderately numerous in leaf litter in mangrove swamp; in decaying 

 herbage (Rehn and Hebard, 1927). 



Cariblatta stenophrys 



Puerto Rico. — Between the leaves and under the leaf sheaths of 

 corn (Sein, 1923; Wolcott, 1936). 



Cariblatta spp. 



West Indies. — The tropical species of this genus inhabit heavy 

 forest, living among the fallen leaves resting on the leaf mold, in
