''Spiralizoros'' is a genus of zorapterans in the family Spiralizoridae. There are about eight described species in ''Spiralizoros''. The species of this genus were transferred from the genus ''Zorotypus'' as a result of research published in 2020. Species These species belong to the genus ''Spiralizoros'': * ''Spiralizoros buxtoni'' (Karny, 1932) * '' Spiralizoros caudelli'' (Karny, 1923) * '' Spiralizoros cervicornis'' (Mashimo, Yoshizawa & Engel, 2013) * '' Spiralizoros ceylonicus'' (Silvestri, 1913) * ''Spiralizoros hainanensis'' (Yin & Li, 2015) * '' Spiralizoros magnicaudelli'' (Mashimo, Engel, Dallai, Beutel & Machida, 2013) * '' Spiralizoros philippinensis'' (Gurney, 1938) * ''Spiralizoros silvestrii ''Spiralizoros silvestrii'' is a species of angel insect in the family Zorotypidae.

The members of this order are small insects, or less in length, that resemble termites in appearance and in their gregarious behavior. They are short and swollen in appearance. They belong to the hemimetabolous insects. They possess mandibulated biting m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
