Cockroaches; Insects -- Ecology
_Texas._--Under dense tangle of bushy vegetation, palms, and vines near
Rio Grande; in leaves and dry litter on ground; on dead petiole hanging
from palm tree (Hebard, 1917). Under bark of dead hackberry; abundant in
dead leaves, dry litter, and rats' (_Neotoma_ sp.) nests in heavy scrub
(Hebard, 1943a).
=Graptoblatta notulata=
_Tahiti._--On foliage in sun or concealed among dead leaves that collect
between the fronds of tree ferns (Cheesman, 1927).
_Hawaii._--Quite active during the day, occurring on sugarcane, etc., in
the wetter districts; it is also a household insect (Williams et al.,
1931).
=Hemiblabera brunneri=
_Puerto Rico._--Under bark of tamarind tree (Rehn and Hebard, 1927).
Under the bark on a fence post (Wolcott, 1950).
=Henicotyle antillarum=
_Dominica._--From rotting wood and wood soil (Rehn and Hebard, 1927).
=Holocompsa metallica=
_Dominican Republic._--Along railroad through jungle and swamp (Rehn and
Hebard, 1927).
=Hololampra bivittata=
_Canary Islands._--Found in numbers among pine needles; nymphs were in
the majority, adults rare (Burr, 1911).
=Hololampra chavesi=
_Azores._--Very common in the hedges, particularly in brambles. Contrary
to most species of this genus, which live on the ground under stones,
this species is exclusively dendricolous and is only captured by beating
the bushes on which it abounds (Chopard, 1932).
=Hololampra maculata=
_Germany._--Abundant in deciduous forest in grass and under fallen
leaves; in pine forests under lichens and between fallen needles; in
edge of coniferous forest; under stones (Zacher, 1917).
=Hololampra marginata=
_Macedonia._--Usually found crawling on the flowers and stems of giant
thistles in May; common on thistles in June (Burr, 1923).
=Hololampra= sp.
_Caucasus._--Numerous beneath dry leaves in a garden (Burr, 1913).
=Hololeptoblatta= sp.
_Seychelles._--Apparently only inhabits _Pandanus_ between the leaf
bases (Scott, 1910, 1912).
=Homalopteryx laminata=
_St. Vincent._--In decaying leaves in forest (Rehn and Hebard, 1927).
_Trinidad._--In forest debris and debris under old cacao trees; it is
not uncommon under dry leaves; it feigns death when disturbed (Princis
and Kevan, 1955).
=Hormetica laevigata=
_Brazil._--From crown of palm between leaf bases (Hancock, 1926).
=Ignabolivaria bilobata=
_U.S.S.R._--Under rocks and on the edges of woods in the lowlands in the
north and in the mountains in the south (Bei-Bienko, 1950).
=Ischnoptera deropeltiformis=
_North Carolina._--Under pine straw on ground in woods (Brimley, 1908).
_Georgia._--Under dead oak leaves; under debris in garden; running on
ground in pine and oak woods (Rehn and Hebard, 1916).
_Indiana._--It is "a ground-frequenting, forest-loving insect, hiding
beneath cover or about the edges of deep woodland, more frequently in
damp places, and rarely taken beneath bark, signs, or at lights"
(Blatchley, 1920).
