coconut palms ; "at Key West, a large colony was discovered among 

 boards lying on dry grass in a field, and several were captured upon 

 turning over coquina boulders in the dense bush" (Rehn and Hebard, 

 191 2). Particularly numerous in tree cavities and under bark along 

 the edge of hammock areas (Hebard, 191 5). Abundant between basal 

 leaves of Tillandsia utriculata; beneath loose bark of logs and stumps ; 

 in and beneath decaying palmetto trunks and leaves; under rubbish 

 (Blatchley, 1920) . On ground in heavy tangle after dark ; in decaying 

 log of Sabal palmetto; in bromeliads ; common under debris and bark 

 in jungle; under signs on Pinus carihaea; in almost every sheltered 

 outdoor place (Hebard, 1917). It moves about at night and hides 

 under bark of logs and in other recesses during the day ; where pines 

 are present it almost invariably hides under bark of dead logs and 

 stumps (Rehn and Hebard, 1914). Friauf (1953) found this species 

 in leaf duff, leaf mold, or decaying wood in these habitats : Sandhills 

 (infrequent), xeric hammock (dominant), mesic hammock (fre- 

 quent), and low hammock (dominant) ; on tree trunks in sandhills 

 habitat (infrequent) and mesic hammock (frequent) ; infrequent in 

 saw-grass marsh habitat in the grass stratum and, during the dry 

 season, in decaying vegetation on floor of marsh. Under the bark of 

 logs and beneath logs in the woodpile habitat (Friauf, 1953).
