“…The ecology of some taxa in the former category, however, is incompletely characterized. Some species are known only from collections at lights, or have been found under logs or under bark, without distinct gallery systems (Roth, 1979(Roth, , 1982Maekawa et al, 2003).…”

“…This conclusion is supported by the existence of isolated cases of otherwise wood-feeding taxa either collected from soil burrows or observed feeding on leaf litter. Ancaudellia rennellensis in the Solomon Islands lives in underground burrows (Roth, 1982), even though the remaining species in the genus are wood-feeders. Panesthia missimensis in Papua New Guinea is typically collected in rotten logs, but there is a record of a male, a female and 19 nymphs collected 0.75 m deep in clay (Roth, 1982).…”

Social biology of the wood-feeding cockroach genus Salganea (Dictyoptera, Blaberidae, Panesthiinae): did ovoviviparity prevent the evolution of eusociality in the lineage?

Recent phylogenetic studies indicating that termites are eusocial cockroaches closely related to the genus Cryptocercus have generated fresh interest in wood-feeding Blattaria. Here we summarize the social biology of the wood-feeding genus Salganea (Blaberidae: Panesthiinae). As in Cryptocercus, Salganea exhibits long term, biparental care that includes the defense and feeding of young nymphs. Unlike Cryptocercus, however, Salganea is iteroparous: most studied species reproduce periodically over their lifetime. These divergent reproductive strategies are likely related to parental costs associated with their differing reproductive modes: Cryptocercus is oviparous, while Salganea is ovoviviparous. The pattern of parental investment associated with ovoviviparous reproduction may be one reason why Salganea and other ovoviviparous wood-feeding cockroach lineages did not evolve eusociality.

“…Panesthiinae and Geoscapheinae (Rugg & Rose 1984) are two morphologically similar blaberid subfamilies (figure 1), characterized by their specialized habits of burrowing into wood and soil, respectively (Roth 1982). Panesthiinae comprise six genera that are found only in Asian and Australian regions (figure 1).…”

The evolution of soil-burrowing cockroaches (Blattaria: Blaberidae) from wood-burrowing ancestors following an invasion of the latter from Asia into Australia

Morphologically similar cockroaches in the subfamilies Panesthiinae and Geoscapheinae (Blattaria: Blaberidae) display contrasting feeding habits, behaviour and biogeographical distributions. Panesthiinae, found throughout Asia and Australia, all live in and feed on decaying wood that they burrow into. Geoscapheinae are restricted to Australia and construct and live in burrows in the soil, where they feed on dry leaves taken from the surface. A lack of knowledge about phylogenetic relationships among these cockroaches hinders an understanding of the factors that have shaped the evolution of their diverse lifestyles and biogeography. To address this issue, we sequenced three genes from representatives of nine of the 10 genera in the two subfamilies, and performed phylogenetic analyses. The well-supported topology revealed the Panesthiinae to be paraphyletic with respect to the Geoscapheinae. Soil-burrowing cockroaches appear to have evolved from a lineage of wood burrowers that invaded Australia from the north some time after the merging of the Asian and Australian tectonic plates ca. 20 Myr ago. The main factor promoting the evolution of soil burrowing is likely to have been one of the periods of strong aridity that Australia has experienced since the Miocene period.

“…Some species in this genus may have individuals with mixed characters resembling the genus Salganea Stål, 1877, Ancaudellia Shaw, 1925 or Miopanesthia Saussure, 1895 (Roth 1982: 71). The first two genera can be distinguished from Panesthia by the anterolateral angles of terga usually with holes or grooves with associated setae, but species of Panesthia often lack holes, or if with holes in T6 and T7 , the holes without setae.…”

One new species Panesthia guizhouensis sp. n. and one new subspecies Panesthia stellata concava ssp. n. are described and illustrated. The male of Panesthia antennata Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893 and its brachypterous form are described and illustrated for the first time. Panesthia strelkovi Bey-Bienko, 1969 is redescribed and illustrated. Three known species, Panesthia birmanica Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893, Panesthia sinuata Saussure, 1839 and Panesthia angustipennis cognata Bey-Bienko, 1969 are illustrated. In addition, a key to all species of the genus Panesthia from China is presented.
