_Byrsotria fumigata_, teneral males, and _Periplaneta australasiae_, nymphs, U.S.A. (Roth and Willis, unpublished data, 1958).
_Diploptera punctata_, U.S.A. (Eisner, 1958).
_Experimental prey._--_Nauphoeta cinerea_, and _Periplaneta americana_, U.S.A. (Rilling, personal communication, 1957).
_Experimental prey._--Cockroaches, Borneo (Shelford, 1916).
_Synonymy._--_Sphodromantis bioculata_ Burmeister [Gurney, personal communication, 1958].
_Experimental prey._--_Blatta orientalis_, Egypt (Adair, 1923): This species of cockroach was apparently used regularly as food for the mantid in the laboratory.
_Experimental prey._--_Blattella germanica_ and _Periplaneta americana_, U.S.A. (Breland, 1941): The mantids were fed 1-2 German cockroaches daily. One female mantid consumed 10 adult German cockroaches plus one oötheca and part of another in 2.5 hours. An adult German cockroach was consumed in an average of 8.5 minutes (range 5.5-15 minutes).
_Blatta orientalis_, nymphs, and _Diploptera punctata_, U.S.A. (Roth and Willis, unpublished data, 1953).
_Experimental prey._--Cockroaches, South Africa (Faure, 1940).
_Experimental prey._--_Nauphoeta cinerea_ and _Periplaneta americana_, U.S.A. (Rilling, personal communication, 1957).
_Natural prey._--Cockroach eggs, Japan (Asano, 1937): These are questionable records. Asano found _D. apicalis_ and _D. japanica_ beneath his house near several empty cockroach oöthecae which appeared to have been eaten into. He assumed from the condition of the oöthecae and the proximity of the stone crickets that the insects had devoured the cockroach eggs.
_Experimental prey._--Eggs of _Blattella germanica_ and _Periplaneta japanica_, Japan (Asano, 1937): Seven eggs of _B. germanica_ (obtained from an oötheca being carried by a female) and eggs of _P. japanica_ (presumably in oöthecae) were fed to both species of stone crickets in the evening. The eggs were devoured by the next morning.
_Experimental prey._--Cockroaches, France (Chopard, 1938): According to Chopard, Brisout de Barneville in 1848 indicated that earwigs in captivity can be fed small cockroaches.
_Natural prey._--Cockroach, Hawaii (Illingworth, 1917): This predaceous bug is commonly found about buildings. Illingworth says that Kirkaldy suspected that it fed on small blattids and that Dr. Perkins saw it feeding on a dead cockroach.
