COCKROACHES FROM THE BURROWS OF VERTEBRATES
Arenivaga apacha
Arizona.—In the nests of wood rats, Neotoma sp. (Hebard, 1917).
Arenivaga bolliana
Texas.—In the nests of wood rats, Neotoma sp. (Hebard, 1917; 1943a).
Arenivaga erratica
Arizona.—The wingless females were commonly found in burrows of Dipodomys spectabilis spectabilis Merriam, the kangaroo rat. The winged males were never found in the burrows (Vorhies and Taylor, 1922). Found most commonly in wood-rat and ground-squirrel dens in the desert regions (Ball et al., 1942).
Arenivaga floridensis
Florida.—Found in a burrow of Peromyscus polionotus rhoadsi (Bangs), the white-footed mouse (Young, 1949).
Arenivaga roseni
Turkmen S.S.R.—Occasionally found in burrows of Rhombomys opimus Lichtenstein; in the burrows of the desert turtle, Testudo horsfieldi Gray; and frequently in burrows of the ground squirrel, Spermophilopsis leptodactylus Lichtenstein (Vlasov, 1933; Vlasov and Miram, 1937).
Arenivaga tonkawa
Texas.—An immature specimen was found in a prairie-dog hole (Hebard, 1943a).
Cariblatta lutea
Florida.—It has been taken in burrows of the pocket gopher, Geomys sp. (Hubbell and Goff, 1940).
Euthlastoblatta abortiva
Texas.—In the nests of wood rats, Neotoma sp. (Hebard, 1917).
Parcoblatta fulvescens
Texas.—In the nests of wood rats, Neotoma sp. (Hebard, 1917).
Polyphaga aegyptiaca
Turkmen S.S.R.—Nymphs and adult females were often found in burrows of the sand mouse, Rhombomys opimus (Vlasov, 1933).
Polyphaga indica
Turkmen S.S.R.—This species prefers sandy soils where it can be found in burrows of Spermophilopsis leptodactylus and Pallasiomys meridionalis pennicilliger Heptner (Vlasov and Miram, 1937).
Polyphaga saussurei
Tadzhikistan.—Found in burrows of turtles and rodents (Zmeev, 1936).
Turkmen S.S.R.—Nymphs and adult females are common in burrows of Rhombomys opimus and in burrows of Testudo horsfieldi. Its principal habitat is rodent burrows in loess dust, where it is not infrequently found in the food stores of the host (Vlasov and Miram, 1937).
Pycnoscelus surinamensis
Texas.—In the nests of wood rats, Neotoma sp. (Hebard, 1917).
