Cockroaches; Insects -- Ecology
_Australia._--Infrequently seen during dry season from March to October.
"They burrow quite deeply, about two feet below the surface of the sandy
soil in stands of cypress pine (_Callitris_ sp.). They make a nest of
dead leaves, grass roots, etc., frequently among the pine roots. The
young nymphs rarely appear above ground, but following rain the adults
burrow to the surface, especially at night.... This species is also
found in the brigalow (_Acacia harpophylla_) scrub about 70 miles west
of Rockhampton, Queensland, and on Fraser Island off the Coast of
Queensland" (Henson _in_ Day, 1950).
=Megaloblatta blaberoides=
_Panama._--Under bark on tree (Hebard, 1920).
_Ecuador._--Under a dense pile of dead leaves around base of tree
(Campos R., 1926).
=Megamareta verticalis=
_Australia._--In sugarcane (Hebard, 1943).
=Methana canae=
_Australia._--Under loose bark on dead upright tree (Pope, 1953a).
=Methana curvigera=
_Australia._--Under loose bark on trees and logs; many specimens on
wattle trees where in strong sunlight they hid in curled-up leaves;
oöthecae attached to underside of loose bark and leaves (Pope, 1953a).
=Methana marginalis=
_Australia._--Under loose bark of trees and logs (Pope, 1953a).
=Moluchia (?) dahli=
_Chile._--Collected from lichens and mosses on tree trunks (Princis,
1952).
=Muzoa madida=
_Costa Rica._--Under dead wood in dense second-growth forest; in thick
mat of hanging dead vegetation in dense forest; under leaves in forest
(Rehn, 1930).
=Nauclidas nigra=
_St. Vincent._--Under rotten fruit (Rehn and Hebard, 1927).
=Nelipophygus ramsdeni=
_Cuba._--Under rotten bark (Rehn and Hebard, 1927).
=Neoblattella detersa=
_Jamaica._--Under dried leaves of coconut palm; in dry leaves under
acacia on hillside; in debris on beach; under stones on coral rock; in
leaf mold under dense brush on hillside; under bracts of banana blossoms
(Rehn and Hebard, 1927).
=Neoblattella dryas=
_Jamaica._--In bases of dead tree-fern fronds; numerous in bromeliads;
nearly all collected specimens were taken in these plants (Rehn and
Hebard, 1927).
=Neoblattella eurydice=
_Jamaica._--Nearly all collected specimens taken in bromeliads (Rehn and
Hebard, 1927).
=Neoblattella grossbecki=
_Jamaica._--In epiphytic bromeliads and hollow bases of dead tree-fern
fronds; nearly all collected specimens taken in bromeliads (Rehn and
Hebard, 1927).
=Neoblattella proserpina=
_Jamaica._--Under bark of huckleberry; nearly all collected specimens
taken in bromeliads (Rehn and Hebard, 1927).
=Neoblattella semota=
_Jamaica._--All specimens collected from under drying bracts of banana
blossoms (Rehn and Hebard, 1927).
=Nesomylacris cubensis=
_Cuba._--In dry region of palmettos and pines (Rehn and Hebard, 1927).
=Nesomylacris relica=
