Drymaplaneta Shelfordi
''Drymaplaneta'' is an Australian genus of cockroaches. It belongs to family Blattidae, subfamily Polyzosteriinae and tribe Methanini.Mackerras, M.J. 1968: Australian Blattidae (Blattodea) IX. Revision of the Polyzosteriinae tribe Methanini, Tryonicinae, and Blattinae. ''Australian Journal of Zoology'', 16(3): 511-575. Description ''Drymaplaneta'' can be distinguished from other Methanini by the greatly reduced, lobiform tegmina, with hind wings absent, and males having maxillary palps with the third and fourth segments swollen. As for the individual species: *''D. lobipennis'' and ''D. shelfordi'' are uniformly dark. *''D. heydeniana'' is light yellowish brown, darkening apically, with translucent yellow margins on thorax and abdomen. * The remaining three species (''D. communis'', ''D. semivitta'' and ''D. variegata'') are very similar to each other. For example, ''D. semivitta'' is mostly dark brown/black with white/cream stripes along the sides of the head and thorax. ...

Drymaplaneta Communis
The common shining cockroach (''Drymaplaneta communis'') is a cockroach native to south-east Australia. It feeds on organic matter and is often found under the bark of eucalypt trees. During the late 1990s and 2000s, this cockroach appears to have had a population explosion in Sydney and Melbourne Melbourne ( , ; Boonwurrung language, Boonwurrung/ or ) is the List of Australian capital cities, capital and List of cities in Australia by population, most populous city of the States and territories of Australia, Australian state of Victori ... and is commonly found inside houses. This population increase likely coincides with an extended dry period, where many suburban gardeners added mulch to their gardens which provided a habitat for the common shining cockroach. Despite commonly being found inside houses, the common shining cockroach does not pose the same health risk as introduced cockroaches.Aussie cockies more guests than pests, 2 February 200The Age/ref> References ...

Drymaplaneta Semivitta
''Drymaplaneta semivitta'' is a species of cockroach native to Australia and introduced to New Zealand. In New Zealand, it is known as the Gisborne cockroach, after the city of Gisborne, New Zealand, Gisborne where it was first discovered in the country. It has also been claimed to have first appeared in Tauranga in 1954, probably arriving on a log shipment. Distinctive features One of the larger cockroaches, ''Drymaplaneta semivitta'' is about 20–45mm long and 12–15mm wide. It is a glossy dark brown, with distinctive tan or white coloured translucent stripes along each side of its head. Unlike many cockroaches, it has no vestigial wings. In males, the third and fourth maxillary palps are enlarged, and the hind tibiae are flattened and expanded. Habitat and diet ''Drymaplaneta semivitta'' is often found in wood material, such as timber or bark chips. It feeds off organic material but does not normally infest food. In cold weather, it can be found in roof cavities and the e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cockroach
Cockroaches (or roaches) are insects belonging to the Order (biology), order Blattodea (Blattaria). About 30 cockroach species out of 4,600 are associated with human habitats. Some species are well-known Pest (organism), pests. Modern cockroaches are an ancient group that first appeared during the Late Jurassic, with their ancestors, known as "Roachoid, roachoids", likely originating during the Carboniferous period around 320 million years ago. Those early ancestors, however, lacked the internal ovipositors of modern roaches. Cockroaches are somewhat generalized insects lacking special adaptations (such as the sucking Insect mouthparts, mouthparts of aphids and other Hemiptera, true bugs); they have chewing mouthparts and are probably among the most primitive of living Neopteran insects. They are common and hardy insects capable of tolerating a wide range of Köppen climate classification, climates, from Arctic cold to Tropics, tropical heat. Tropical cockroaches are often muc ...

Tegmen
A tegmen (: tegmina) designates the modified leathery front wing on an insect particularly in the orders Dermaptera (earwigs), Orthoptera (grasshoppers, crickets and similar families), Mantodea (praying mantis), Phasmatodea (stick and leaf insects) and Blattodea (cockroaches). It is also a term used in botany to describe the delicate inner protective layer of a seed, and in zoology to describe a stiff membrane on the upper surface of the crown of a crinoid. In vertebrate anatomy it denotes a plate of thin bone forming the roof of the middle ear. The nature of tegmina The term ''tegmen'' refers to a miscellaneous and arbitrary group of organs in various orders of insects; they certainly are homologous in the sense that they all are derived from insect forewings, but in other senses they are analogous; for example, the evolutionary development of the short elytra of the Dermaptera shared none of the history of the development of tegmina in the Orthoptera, say.
