BIOTIC ASSOCIATIONS OF COCKROACHES — ROTH & WILLIS 79 



Methana marginalis 

 Australia. — Reported entering houses (Pope, 1953a). 



Ifauphoeta cinerea 



Australia. — In hospital (Mackerras and Mackerras, 1948). In 

 dwelHngs, grain stores, and fowl-feeding pens (Pope, 1953). 



Sudan. — Domiciliary in huts of the Shilluk natives; fairly widely 

 distributed in eastern Africa (Rehn, 1945). 



Hawaii. — In feed rooms of poultry plants (Illingworth, 1942). 



Florida. — Established in feed mills around Tampa (Gresham, 1952 ; 

 Gurney, 1953) • 



The wide distribution of this species from East Africa, where it 

 originated, to the Orient and the New World was undoubtedly 

 mediated by shipping (Rehn, 1945). 



Neoblattella sp. 



Puerto Rico. — Observed [as Blatta caraibea, Rehn and Hebard 

 (1927)] in houses (Gundlach, 1887). 



Neostylopyga rhombifolia 



Domiciliary in Indo-Malaya and New World Tropics (Rehn, 

 1945) ; Philippine Islands (Uichanco, 1953) ; and Hawaii (Hebard, 

 1922). 



Oxyhaloa buprestoides 



Presumably to some extent domiciliary, as it evidently spread from 

 Africa to the New World via slave ships (Rehn and Hebard, 1927; 

 Rehn, 1945). 



Panchlora nivea 



Colombia. — A male and a female taken in a dwelling (Princis, 

 1946). This is primarily an outdoor species which is frequently taken 

 indoors as an adventive on bananas (see p. 150 for references). 



Parcoblatta fulvescens 



Florida. — Males found in laboratory and dormitory buildings, 

 ostensibly attracted by lights (Friauf, 1953). 



Parcoblatta lata 



Connecticut. — Domiciliary pest (Moore, 1957). Generally an out- 

 door species.
