FOOTNOTES:

[1] Part of the cost of publication of this monograph was borne by the Office of Naval Research, Department of the Navy (through the American Institute of Biological Sciences), and by the Quartermaster Research and Engineering Center, Department of the Army.

[2] Present address of both authors, Central Research Laboratories, United Fruit Co., Upland Road, Norwood, Mass.

[3] Names of organisms preceded by an asterisk (*) are known or suspected pathogens of vertebrates. These records were presented with annotations in our 1957a paper on the medical and veterinary importance of cockroaches. For that reason the annotations have not been repeated herein, although the records have been included to make the listing of the biotic associates of cockroaches substantially complete.

[4] The following helminths also have been stated in the literature to pass their intermediate stages in cockroaches: Hymenolepis diminuta (Rudolphi, 1819) [Blanchard (1891)]; Inermicapsifer madagascariensis (Davaine in Grenet, 1870) [Baer (1956)]; Spirocerca sanguinolenta (Rudolphi, 1819) [Seurat (1913)]. These doubtful records are discussed in Roth and Willis (1957a).

[5] Barber (1939) has shown that the correct spelling of the name of the type genus is Ripidius and not Rhipidius, as it is frequently written, and that, consequently, the family should be Ripiphoridae and not Rhipiphoridae.

[6] Page 11 of Marlatt (1902) has been cited erroneously so many times in support of host records for T. hagenowii and Evania appendigaster that we are quoting the pertinent section below. In the section preceding the quoted material Marlatt discusses the American, Australian, oriental, and German cockroaches. There is nothing in the paper to connect any of these cockroaches specifically with the parasites mentioned below:

NATURAL ENEMIES AND PARASITES

"In Europe the egg capsules of the cockroach are often parasitized by an ichneumon fly (Evania appendigaster). This insect has become widely distributed over the world following its host insect, and has been redescribed under a great many different names. It was found in Cuba as early as 1829, and has been several times collected in the United States. Unfortunately, its usefulness as a means of keeping the roach in check by destroying the egg capsules is greatly impaired by the occurrence of another ichneumon fly (Entedon hagenowi), which is parasitic upon the first. This is also a European species which has been brought over with its host parasite. If the true egg capsule parasite of the roach could have been introduced into this country without this secondary parasite, its usefulness would doubtless have been very much greater. The secondary parasite, however, seems to have been introduced early, and has been found in Cuba and Florida, and probably occurs as widely as its host and prevents the latter from multiplying very greatly."

[7] Brues et al. (1954) include this family in the Encyrtidae.

[8] archy (Marquis, 1931) was living in a dream world when he typed:

"there is always something to be thankful for you would not think that a cockroach had much ground for optimism but as the fishing season opens up i grow more and more cheerful at the thought that nobody ever got the notion of using cockroaches for bait"

[9] Classification of Amphibia and Reptilia follows Hegner (1936).

[10] Classification of Amphibia and Reptilia follows Hegner (1936).

[11] Classification of Mammalia follows Simpson (1945).

[12] The West Indian "Blabera fusca Brunner" of Saupe (1928) is obviously Blaberus craniifer as can readily be seen from a comparison of Saupe's figures of the pronotal shields of his species with the descriptions by Hebard (1917) of B. craniifer and Blaberus atropos (Stoll). The Chilean B. fusca Brunner is a junior synonym of B. atropos (Stoll), a South American insect (Hebard, 1917).

[13] The species was recorded by these authors as Blaberus atropos. (Hebard, 1917 p. 204, footnote 327.)

Transcriber's Notes:

- symbol for: female indiv. replaced by [F] - symbol for: male indiv. replaced by [M] - symbol for: 'dagger' replaced by [cross] - Different languages (English, French, German, Danish, Latin, etc.) have different spellings for example in titles of books, etc. These remain as in the original. - Several blank lines inserted to enhance readability of text(!) - Several page numbers in 'table of contents' corrected, according to real page numbers. - caret used for superscripted characters; eg.: abc^{...} - underscore used for subscripted characters; eg.: abc_{...}
