“…They are cosmopolitan and fairly well diversified, particularly in forest ecosystems with complex structures. Indeed, forests provide a favorable habitat for cockroaches, where they live among the dead leaves, branches, cracks, and dead spaces in the bark of trunks and in tree holes (Lopes et al, 2014). In these different compartments of the forest, cockroaches have primarily nocturnal activity for feeding and breeding (Schal et al, 2008).…”

This study aims to investigate the diversity, population dynamics, and distribution of forest cockroaches from the litter of three types of Mediterranean forests (Pinus halepensis, Juniperus phoenicea, Quercus ilex) in Belezma National Park (Northeast Algeria). In every type of forest, blattopteran individuals were hand-collected fortnightly from March 2013 to July 2014. Population dynamics were tested by multivariate analysis of variance for forest types and study months. The capture of 1885 individual forest cockroaches allowed the identification of six species (Loboptera angulata, Dziriblatta stenoptera, Phyllodromica subaptera, Phyllodromica zebra, Phyllodromica cincticollis, and Phyllodromica trivittata). In all studied forests, these species produced two generations per year (spring and autumn), in which the number of females was significantly higher than the number of males. However, P. cincticollis established a single generation in the spring with a balanced sex ratio. L. angulata and D. stenoptera were the most abundant species. The values of individual abundances, species richness, and biodiversity were higher in P. halepensis forest compared to Q. ilex and J. phoenicea.

We describe a new genus and species of Chilean Blattodea (Ectobiidae), collected on Isla Grande de Chiloé and associated with Fascicularia bicolor (Bromeliaceae). We study the morphology of both sexes with SEM. The new taxon is brachypterous, with tiny ellipsoid tegmina and hind wings absent. The female presents strongly sclerotized genital sclerites and spermathecal plate developed. The male without tergal specializationsand asymmetrical styles. Medium phallomere with modified sclerites, compose a sclerotized complex that includes a long ejaculatory duct.
