Abstract
Over a 3-year period 1,359 evaniids, representing four species, were c ollected in a mature sand pine habitat at the Archbold Biological Stat ion in south-central Florida. All species fly for at least six months of the year and show annual fluctuations in abundance. Seventeen speci es of cockroaches occur at the ABS; the most probable hosts for evanii ds are members of the genera Parcoblatta, Ischnoptera, and Cariblatta.
