Cockroaches; Insects -- Ecology
_Southeastern and southern U.S._--"This species is usually encountered
out of doors, in or near towns. Over its range it is frequently found
under signs on trees" (Hebard, 1917).
=Phidon (?) dubius=
_Chile._--Collected from mosses and lichens on tree trunks (Princis,
1952).
=Phoraspis= spp.
_Brazil and Guiana._--In grasslands, plantations of maize, sugarcane,
and other plants on the borders of forests; the cockroaches were always
found between the leaves which form the branches of the plants (Doumerc
_in_ Blanchard, 1837).
=Phyllodromica brevipennis=
_Asia Minor and western Europe._--On ground among grasses; under moss
and brushwood in mountain meadows (Bei-Bienko, 1950).
=Phyllodromica graeca=
_U.S.S.R., western Georgia._--In pine forest mixed with deciduous trees
(Bei-Bienko, 1950).
=Phyllodromica irinae=
_U.S.S.R., Turan Lowland._--Along margins of "tugas" under half-fallen
bushes of _Salsola kali_ that overhang the ground (Bei-Bienko, 1950).
=Phyllodromica maculata=
_Central Europe and western U.S.S.R._--On the edges of forests of the
central-European type that are lighted by the sun; under fallen leaves;
on bushes and conifers (Bei-Bienko, 1950).
=Phyllodromica meglerei=
_U.S.S.R._--Among fallen leaves under bushes; on oak branches; under
mown hay (Bei-Bienko, 1950).
=Phyllodromica polita=
_Caucasus._--Under fallen leaves on slopes of mountains covered by
forest or brushwood (Bei-Bienko, 1950).
=Phyllodromica pygmaea=
_U.S.S.R._--In the sands of Un-dzhal-kum and Zhety-konur it is found in
the dense turf of _Aristida pennata_ (Bei-Bienko, 1950).
=Phyllodromica tartara=
_Central Asia._--In lowlands and in mountains up to 2,500 meters; in
fruit orchards under trap rings fastened to trees to combat lesser apple
worm (Bei-Bienko, 1950).
=Phyllodromica tartara nigrescens=
_Southern Uzbekistan._--Under bark of _Juniperus_ sp., under stones and
on flowers of _Scorzonera acanthoclada_ (Bei-Bienko, 1950).
=Platyzosteria castanea=
_Australia._--Under loose wood or bark (Shaw, 1914).
=Platyzosteria novae seelandiae=
_New Zealand._--Swarms under loose dry bark and logs (Walker, 1904).
=Plectoptera dominicae=
_Dominica._--On moss-covered lime trees. "The species of the genus
_Plectoptera_ are all foliage and flower frequenters, generally secured
by beating low arborescent vegetation, or are attracted to light" (Rehn
and Hebard, 1927).
=Plectoptera dorsalis=
