Cockroaches; Insects -- Ecology
_Puerto Rico._--Living in rotten, wooden fence; living between leaves of
_Samanea saman_ and in abandoned cocoons of _Megalopyge krugii_ on
bucare trees (Wolcott, 1950).
_Leeward Islands._--On coconut tree (Princis and Kevan, 1955).
=Aglaopteryx facies=
_Puerto Rico._--As _diaphana_, in dead branch 10 feet above the ground
on Mona Island (Hebard, 1917). In trunks of trees under bark and very
often in abandoned cocoons of the "plumilla" (Seín, 1923). On rotten,
wooden fence; in empty cocoons of _Megalopyge krugii_ on trunks of
bucare trees, _Erythrina glauca_; on trunk of _Inga laurina_; in larval
tents of _Tetralopha scabridella_ on _Inga vera_ (Wolcott, 1936). In
large numbers in nests of the gray kingbird (Wolcott, 1950).
=Aglaopteryx diaphana=
_West Indies._--In Cuba, under corky bark of large tree in open;
Jamaica, under loose bark of shade trees and in bracts of banana
blossoms; in bromeliads and hollow bases of dead tree-fern fronds (Rehn
and Hebard, 1927).
=Aglaopteryx gemma=
_Florida._--On Long Key, under coquina boulder in heavy scrub; under
loose, dry fibers near head of standing coconut palm (Rehn and Hebard,
1912). Climbing on roots of red mangrove, _Rhizophora mangle_, in swamp;
under loose bark on trunk of _Exothea paniculata_ in dense jungle; under
limestone boulder in keys scrub; under signs on oaks, sweet gum, and
longleaf pines in southeastern and southern States (Hebard, 1917).
Infrequent in the shrub growth of the Sandhills habitat (Friauf, 1953).
_Texas._--In undergrowth of pine forest; under sign on oak near river;
in _Tillandsia_ sp. (Hebard, 1917). Usually in hiding places on trees;
only once found under a stone on ground (Hebard, 1943a).
=Allacta similis=
_Hawaii._--Common in hollow stems and under bark (Swezey and Williams,
1932).
=Amazonina emarginata=
_Trinidad._--On low herbage, on hibiscus at night, and in banana bunch
(Princis and Kevan, 1955).
=Anaplecta asema=
_Panama._--Under dead leaves in jungle (Hebard, 1920).
=Anaplecta decipiens=
_Costa Rica._--In decayed leaves (Rehn, 1906).
=Anaplecta fallax=
_Costa Rica._--Under stones on borders of Surubres River (Rehn, 1906).
=Anaplecta hemiscotia=
_Panama._--Under rubbish at edge of jungle and in overgrowth of heavy
vines on low bushes (Hebard, 1920).
=Anaplecta lateralis=
_Panama._--Under drift on edge of coral-sand beach (Hebard, 1920).
=Arenivaga bolliana=
_Texas._--In dense jungle brush of the river plain; on gravelly hillocks
in scattered scrub; under debris and leaf mold under mesquite trees; in
rat's nests, _Neotoma_ sp. (Hebard, 1917). In dry earth under bush;
inhabits litter on ground and nests of rats (Hebard, 1943a).
