Collection/ecological information.

Both of these specimens were collected in a cup baited with beer placed in the canopy. The cup was tied to the trunk of a tree 13.8 meters above the ground. The tree chosen was close to a swampy primary forest area and on the edge of grassy hillside (most likely a plot that had been burned in the past). There were traps placed in the same tree at other heights but both individuals of this species were caught in this particular trap.

Morphological identification.

Our female specimen of Dendroblatta callizona Rehn, 1928 is within the variation described by Rehn (1928). The juvenile specimen was identified by comparison with the adult and using genetic data as well.

Genetic information.

In the tree of Evangelista et al. (2014) this species is placed near two individuals reported as " Ectobiidae sp. 10". The morphology of these specimens is consistent with Dendroblatta cnephaia Hebard, 1926, although we do not report them here because of a lack of adults to confirm identification.

Known geographic distribution.

Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and Suriname.
