چکیده
Byrsotria fumigata (Guérin-Méneville, 1857) is an endemic cockroach from Cuba which presents a remarkable variability in the male wings. This contribution addresses differences size and wing shape of males, previously reported on literature. Brachypterous individuals are illustrated variation quantified. The distribution species expanded with two new localities.

Effect of farnesyl methyl ether on reproductive physiology in the cockroach, Byrsotria fumigata (Guérin).
Farnesyl methyl ether (F M E ), chemically related with the juvenile hormone from cecropia o i l1, is a po tent corpus allatum hormone analogue for many in sects 2~ 4. It is not only able to prevent imaginal de velopment; it also stimulates the maturation of oocytes in the adults of some 3> 5 but not all insects 6. Barth 7 has shown that sex pheromone production by females of Byrsotria fumig...
متن کاملGas exchange patterns and water loss rates in the Table Mountain cockroach, Aptera fusca (Blattodea: Blaberidae).
The importance of metabolic rate and/or spiracle modulation for saving respiratory water is contentious. One major explanation for gas exchange pattern variation in terrestrial insects is to effect a respiratory water loss (RWL) saving. To test this, we measured the rates of CO2 and H2O release ( and , respectively) in a previously unstudied, mesic cockroach, Aptera fusca, and compared gas exch...

Field studies were conducted to compare the performance of Goliath® Cockroach Gel (fipronil) and a spray treatment of Cislin Residual Insecticide (deltamethrin). These were carried out in Sydney, NSW, Australia against Blattella germanica (L), and Townsville, Queensland, against a mixed population of Periplaneta americana (L.) and Periplaneta australasiae (L). In both studies fipronil (0.05% AI...
متن کاملHormonal Control of Sex Attractant Production in the Cuban Cockroach.
Virgin females of Byrsotria fumigata (Guérin) and several other species of Blattidae produce volatile substances which attract males and release in them characteristic precopulatory behavior. The removal of the corpora allata from females shortly after the imaginal molt results in a failure of production of sex attractant, as assayed by male behavior. Implantation of corpora allata can effect r...
