beaten from shrubbery, from bayberry bushes, from lower branches 

 of gumbo limbo and other trees, from lower bushes and shrubs in 

 jungle, and from low oaks on hills. In Texas, beaten from tall weeds 

 in opening in river-plain jungle scrub (Hebard, 1917). 



Chorisoneura translucida 



Panama. — In jungle vegetation, including vines covering low bushes 

 (Hebard, 1920). 



Chromatonotus infuscatus 



Trinidad. — Males on low herbage under old cacao tree (Princis and 

 Kevan, 1955). 



Chromatonotus notatus 



Trinidad. — Males in orchard on low herbage at night; females 

 under refuse and in grass (Princis and Kevan, 1955). 



Comptolampra liturata 



Malaya. — Often found between dry foliage in the beakers of the 

 epiphytic fern, Asplenium nidus, although the species lives mainly in 

 bamboo bushes (Karny, 1924). 



Cryptocercus punctulatus 



North Carolina. — "They were never found except in parts of the 

 logs [chestnut] where the decayed wood was soft, punky and wet" 

 (Rehn and Hebard, 1910). 



Oregon. — In fir logs where sap wood was soggy (Hebard, 1917). 



Virginia. — In decaying chestnut and pine logs ; taken six times in 

 chestnut and once in pine (Hebard, 1917). In rotten logs in deep 

 ravines of moist woods (Davis, 1926). 



Appalachian Mountains, U.S. — In southern Virginia and eastern 

 Tennessee, it is usually quite abundant in well-forested areas at eleva- 

 tions from 3,000 to 5,000 feet; "sometimes even a majority of the 

 dead logs on a mountain side have roaches in them" (Cleveland et al., 

 1934). This cockroach not only lives in rotten, dead logs but also in 

 sound logs that have been down only a few years. In Virginia it is 

 found more often in chestnut and hemlock. "It occurs fairly often in 

 oak, and has been found in pine, spruce, and arbor vitae. . . . There 

 is little evidence that they ever leave the log and enter the ground" 

 (Cleveland et al., 1934). 



Cryptocercus relictus 

 Eastern Manchuria. — In great numbers under rotting fallen trees 

 and in rotten dead wood (Bei-Bienko, 1950).
