live oaks, and under leaves on edge of oak and shortleaf-pine woods 

 (Rehn and Hebard, 1916). 



Florida. — Very common among dead leaves, under logs, beneath 

 loose bark, and wanders about at night in pinelands, hammock, turkey 

 oak, and sand-scrub habitats (Hubbell and Goff, 1940). Beneath drift, 

 cow dung, leaves, boards, bark of logs, and other debris, usually in 

 open pine woods in sandy areas ; frequent at the base of thistle leaves 

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

 debris, or decaying wood in these habitats: Scrub (dominant), sand- 

 hills (dominant), xeric hammock (dominant), mesic hammock, long- 

 leaf-pine flatwoods (infrequent), low hammock (infrequent), and 

 alluvial hammock (infrequent). In the shrub stratum in these habi- 

 tats: Scrub (dominant), sandhills (dominant), xeric hammock (dom- 

 inant), and longleaf-pine flatwoods (infrequent). In the herbaceous 

 stratum of the longleaf-pine flatwoods habitat, and under bark and 

 beneath logs in the woodpile habitat. 



Parcoblatta lata 



Southeastern and southern U.S. — Under bark of pine logs and 

 stumps ; in sweet-gum logs and stumps ; moderately numerous under 

 bark of dead shortleaf pines; under bark of longleaf-pine stumps; 

 under signs on red oak and longleaf pines; in dead oak. In Texas, 

 under bark of pine stumps (Hebard, 1917). 



North Carolina. — All stages under loose bark of dead pines, both 

 prostrate and upright, and stumps. "It seems to prefer the space 

 under the bark to be rather damp" (Brimley, 1908). Under bark of 

 dead pine trees (Rehn and Hebard, 1910). 



Florida. — Infrequent in leaf duff and decayed wood of low ham- 

 mock habitat (Friauf, 1953). 



Indiana. — Beneath rocks on sides and tops of high hills, in lime- 

 stone glades where cedar abounds (Blatchley, 1920). 



Missouri. — In leaf stratum of oak-hickory forest (Dowdy, 1951). 

 Earlier, Dowdy (1947) reported finding numerous immature Pseudo- 

 mopinae [presumably Parcoblatta sp.] in soil and leaf strata of oak- 

 hickory forest. 



Texas. — Captured in molasses-baited traps in low, wet, oak woods 

 and in dry woodlot on hillside (Hebard, 1943a). 



Parcoblatta pensylvanica 



Eastern and southeastern U.S. — Trapped in molasses-baited jars ; 

 in oak and in chestnut forests, and on knoll with high deciduous trees.
