Panama. — Thrives about human habitations under litter, though 

 not domiciliary (Hebard, 1920). 



Ischnoptera rufa rufa 



Jamaica. — In hotel. "While hardly a domiciliary form it would 

 seem to frequent environments where man has considerably disturbed 

 natural conditions, as under debris, docks, under logs and stones in 

 cultivated areas" (Rehn and Hebard, 1927). 



Leucophaea maderae 



West Indies. — In habitations, warehouses, and other structures ; 

 "At times it is a very abundant and serious pest" (Rehn, 1945). In 

 Puerto Rico it was also found in fruit stores, markets, and inns (Sein, 

 1923 ; Wolcott, 1950). 



Reported as a domiciliary pest in Madeira (Heer, 1864) ; Wind- 

 ward Islands (Marshall, 1878) ; Tropics and sub-Tropics (Rehn, 

 1937) ; Philippine Islands (Uichanco, 1953) ; New York City (Anony- 

 mous, 1953; Gurney, 1953); Trinidad (Princis and Kevan, 1955). 

 This species is also established in coastal Brazil, Central America, 

 all the Greater Antilles, several other tropical islands, and tropical 

 Africa, where it probably originated (Rehn, 1945).
