The tribe Platynini is generally northern in habitat, forty-two species 
are recorded for New Jersey, eleven for Florida, of which two only seem to 
be frequently found. P. nutans is, north at least, often found in trees; the 
others are usually found under stones, etc., in damp places. It may prove 
that there are more species in the northern and western part of the state.
