_West Indies._--The tropical species of this genus inhabit heavy forest, living among the fallen leaves resting on the leaf mold, in epiphytic bromeliads, and in dead agaves (Hebard, 1916a; Rehn and Hebard, 1927). =Cariblattoides instigator= _Cuba._--In siftings from under sea grapes, other shrubs, and low trees (Rehn and Hebard, 1927). =Cariblattoides suave= _Puerto Rico._--On dry limestone hills (Rehn and Hebard, 1927). =Ceratinoptera picta= _Trinidad._--Under bark of old cacao tree (Princis and Kevan, 1955). =Chorisoneura flavipennis= _Costa Rica._--Under stones on borders of Surubres River (Rehn, 1906). =Chorisoneura formosella= _Jamaica._--Swept from huckleberry trees (_Vaccinium meridionale_) (Rehn and Hebard, 1927). =Chorisoneura parishi= _Panama._--From jungle undergrowth (Hebard, 1920). =Chorisoneura specilliger= _Panama._--In grass (Hebard, 1920). =Chorisoneura texensis= _Florida._--"The almost impenetrable jungle on Key Largo was examined, and in its depths the two specimens of this species were secured by beating the lower branches of gumbo limbo, other trees and the lower bushes and shrubs, among which latter are to be found such tropical forms as _Ocotea catesbyana_ [=_Nectandra coriacea_] and _Citharexylum villosum_" (Rehn and Hebard, 1912). In nests of webworm and beaten from bushes of bayberry, _Myrica cerifera_, along edge of pine woods (Rehn and Hebard, 1916). Beneath dead leaves in oak woods and beaten from foliage of oak and bayberry (Blatchley, 1920). Infrequent in the tall shrub stratum of the xeric hammock habitat (Friauf, 1953). _Texas._--The great majority of specimens were beaten from foliage of bushes (Hebard, 1943a). _Southeastern and southern U.S._--In undergrowth in pine woods; beaten from shrubbery, from bayberry bushes, from lower branches of gumbo limbo and other trees, from lower bushes and shrubs in jungle, and from low oaks on hills. In Texas, beaten from tall weeds in opening in river-plain jungle scrub (Hebard, 1917). =Chorisoneura translucida= _Panama._--In jungle vegetation, including vines covering low bushes (Hebard, 1920). =Chromatonotus infuscatus= _Trinidad._--Males on low herbage under old cacao tree (Princis and Kevan, 1955). =Chromatonotus notatus= _Trinidad._--Males in orchard on low herbage at night; females under refuse and in grass (Princis and Kevan, 1955). =Comptolampra liturata= _Malaya._--Often found between dry foliage in the beakers of the epiphytic fern, _Asplenium nidus_, although the species lives mainly in bamboo bushes (Karny, 1924). =Cryptocercus punctulatus= _North Carolina._--"They were never found except in parts of the logs [chestnut] where the decayed wood was soft, punky and wet" (Rehn and Hebard, 1910). _Oregon._--In fir logs where sap wood was soggy (Hebard, 1917).
