Ectobiidae
Ectobiidae (formerly Blattellidae) is a family of the order Blattodea (cockroaches). This family contains many of the smaller common household pest cockroaches, among others. They are sometimes called wood cockroaches. A few notable species include: * Asian cockroach ''Blattella asahinai'' * German cockroach ''Blattella germanica'' * Small yellow cockroach ''Cariblatta lutea'' * Brown-banded cockroach ''Supella longipalpa'' * European native cockroaches - genera including ''Ectobius, Capraiellus, Phyllodromica'' and ''Planuncus'' * ''Parcoblatta'' spp. including the: ** Fulvous wood cockroach ''P. fulvescens'' ** Pennsylvania wood cockroach ''Parcoblatta pennsylvanica'' ** Virginia wood cockroach ''Parcoblatta virginica'' Subfamilies and selected Genera The ''Cockroach Species File'' includes five subfamilies. The Anaplectinae, previously placed here, have now been elevated to family level. ''NB'': subfamilies marked § are complete list as of 2020: Blattellinae Auth.: Kar ...

Cockroach
Cockroaches (or roaches) are a paraphyletic group of insects belonging to Blattodea, containing all members of the group except termites. About 30 cockroach species out of 4,600 are associated with human habitats. Some species are well-known as pests. The cockroaches are an ancient group, with their ancestors, known as " roachoids", originating during the Carboniferous period, some 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 mouthparts of aphids and other 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 climates, from Arctic cold to tropical heat. Tropical cockroaches are often much larger than temperate species. Modern cockroaches are not considered to be a monophyletic group, as it has be ...

Blattodea
Blattodea is an order of insects that contains cockroaches and termites. Formerly, termites were considered a separate order, Isoptera, but genetic and molecular evidence suggests they evolved from within the cockroach lineage, cladistically making them cockroaches as well. The Blattodea and the mantis (order Mantodea) are now all considered part of the superorder Dictyoptera. Blattodea includes approximately 4,400 species of cockroach in almost 500 genera, and about 3,000 species of termite in around 300 genera. Termites are pale-coloured, soft-bodied eusocial insects that live in colonies, whereas cockroaches are darker-coloured (often brown), sclerotized, segmented insects. Within the colony, termites have a caste system, with a pair of mature reproductives, the king and the queen, and numerous sterile workers and soldiers. Cockroaches are not colonial but do have a tendency to aggregate and may be considered pre-social, as all adults are capable of breeding. Other simil ...

Ectobius
''Ectobius'' is a genus of non-cosmopolitan cockroaches once thought native to the Old World and described by Stephens in 1835, belonging to the family Ectobiidae, subfamily Ectobiinae. The discovery of 4 ectobius cockroaches in Colorado dating to 49 Million years ago suggests the genus actually originated in North America. This genus has been subject to a number of revisions.Bohn, H. 1989: Revision of the ''sylvestris'' group of ''Ectobius'' Stephens in Europe (Blattaria: Blattellidae). ''Entomologica Scandinavica'', 20: 317–342. Description The adult 'cockroaches' reach of length, the basic coloration of their body is mostly brown or yellowish, with a clearer margin. The females are usually bigger than the males and have shorter wings, while in the males wings cover at least the whole abdomen. Distribution Species of this genus are mainly present in most of Europe, Africa, in eastern Palearctic realm and the Near East. The " lesser cockroach" (''i.e.'' as found in Britai ...
