''Ectobius sylvestris'', known generally as the forest cockroach or lesser cockroach, is a species of cockroach in the family Ectobiidae. It is found in Europe and Northern Asia (excluding China), North America, and temperate Asia.

Nikolaus Poda Von Neuhaus
Nikolaus Poda von Neuhaus (4 October 1723 – 29 April 1798) was an Austrian entomologist Entomology () is the scientific study of insects, a branch of zoology. In the past the term "insect" was less specific, and historically the definition of entomology would also include the study of animals in other arthropod groups, such as arach .... In his branch of natural history, the short name Poda refers to him. Poda was born and died in Vienna. He was the author of ''Insecta Musei Graecensis'' (1761), the first purely entomological work to follow the binomial nomenclature of Carl Linnaeus.

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 ...

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 ...

Cockroaches
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 ha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Insects Described In 1761
Insects (from Latin ') are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. Their blood is not totally contained in vessels; some circulates in an open cavity known as the haemocoel. Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. The total number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million; In: potentially over 90% of the animal life forms on Earth are insects. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, which are dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans, which recent research has indicated insects are nested within. Nearly all insects hatch from eggs. Insect ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
