Corydiidae, previously known as Polyphagidae, is a family of the order Blattodea (cockroaches). Many are known as sand cockroaches. The family is divided into five subfamilies, comprising some 40 genera. One prominent species is the desert cockroach, Arenivaga investigata.
Francis Walker was an English entomologist. He was born in Southgate, London, on 31 July 1809 and died at Wanstead, England on 5 October 1874. He was one of the most prolific authors in entomology, and stirred controversy during his later life as his publications resulted in a huge number of junior synonyms. However, his assiduous work on the collections of the British Museum had great significance.
Cockroaches 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.
Pyxicephalus is a genus of true frogs from Sub-Saharan Africa, commonly referred to as African bull frogs or bull frogs. They are very large to large frogs, with females significantly smaller than males. They may take decades to reach their full size potential and they are some of the longest-living frogs, possibly able to reach ages as high as 45 years.
Duryodana is a genus of cockroaches in the family Ectobiidae, erected by William Forsell Kirby in 1903. It contains the single species Duryodana palpalis from Borneo and Sumatra.
Superfamily Tabanoidea are insects in the order Diptera.
Scaptia is a genus of horse-fly in the tribe Scionini.
Panchlora is a genus of cockroaches, mostly found in South America and Central America. Most species in this genus are green in colour, but some are cream or grey.
Euhybus is a genus of flies in the family Hybotidae.
Blattoidea is a superfamily of cockroaches and termites in the order Blattodea. There are about 17 families and more than 4,100 described species in Blattoidea.
Pseudomops is a genus of cockroach in the family Ectobiidae. There are more than 40 described species in Pseudomops.
Megaloblatta is a genus of Neotropical cockroaches in the family Ectobiidae. Species in this genus are 4 to 9.7 cm (1.6–3.8 in) long and can have a wingspan of up to 20 cm (8 in); the world's largest cockroach by length and wingspan is M. longipennis.
Holcosus bridgesii, also known commonly as Bridges's ameiva , is a species of lizard in the family Teiidae. The species is native to northwestern South America.
The UPLB Museum of Natural History is a natural science and natural history museum within the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) campus. It serves as a center for documentation, research, and information of flora and fauna of the Philippines. The museum is one of the research and extension units of the UPLB and its role parallels that of a library for written records.
Megaloblatta longipennis is a species of cockroach in the family Ectobiidae. It is one of the world's largest cockroaches by length and wingspan. It is native to Colombia, Ecuador and Peru; although its range sometimes is reported to extent into Panama, this is based on misidentifications of the closely related and similar M. blaberoides.
Corydiinae is a subfamily of the order Blattodea (cockroaches). Many are known as sand cockroaches. The subfamily, comprising about 20 genera, contains half the genera in Corydiidae. One prominent species is the desert cockroach, Arenivaga investigata.
