ment of this roach is said to be in ‘‘low wooded areas, under 
dried leaves.’’ 
The following note by Prof. Stoner is interesting as bearing 
onthe habitat of roaches, but unfortunately the species concerned 
are not specified : 
‘** Antigua, June 24, 1918. Monk’s Hill. On the wooded por- 
tion of this hill the trees are, in many places, quite close together ; 
on these trees there grow small epiphytes looking something like 
small pineapple plants. These ‘wild pines,’ as they are called, 
hold water and moisture and insects of various kinds, among 
them cockroaches, find here a cool and safe retreat.’’

This species, the correct generic assignment of which is as 
above, is represented in the collection by five specimens, one male 
and four females, all mature and collected on Barbados, the 
male without further data, one female taken in May and the 
others on May 14 on Pelican Island. The male agrees very ex- 
actly with a specimen of the same sex from Trinidad. 
The following manuscript note by Prof. Stoner refers to this 
species: 
‘‘Barbados. Hawkins Estate. Heavy showers last few days 
have freshened vegetation and in low places took small green 
long-horned grasshoppers and Mantis sp. (2?) juv.”’
