Polistes is a cosmopolitan genus of paper wasps and the only genus in the tribe Polistini. Vernacular names for the genus include umbrella wasps, coined by Walter Ebeling in 1975 to distinguish it from other types of paper wasp, in reference to the form of their nests, and umbrella paper wasps. Polistes is the single largest genus within the family Vespidae, with over 200 recognized species. Their innate preferences for nest-building sites leads them to commonly build nests on human habitation, where they can be very unwelcome; although generally not aggressive, they can be provoked into defending their nests. All species are predatory, and they may consume large numbers of caterpillars, in which respect they are generally considered beneficial.
Giant cockroaches, or blaberids, are the second-largest cockroach family by number of species. Mostly distributed in warmer climates worldwide, this family is based on the American genus Blaberus, but much of the diversity is also found in Africa and Asia.
Mantidae is one of the largest families in the order of praying mantises, based on the type species Mantis religiosa; however, most genera are tropical or subtropical. Historically, this was the only family in the order, and many references still use the term "mantid" to refer to any mantis. Technically, however, "mantid" refers only to members of the family Mantidae, and not the 14 remaining families of mantises. Some of the most recent classifications have promoted a number of the mantid subfamilies to the rank of family, e.g. Iridopterygidae, Sibyllidae, Tarachodidae, Thespidae, and Toxoderidae, while other classifications have reduced the number of subfamilies without elevating them to higher rank.
Hymenopodidae is a family of the order Mantodea (mantises), which contains six subfamilies. Some of the species in this family mimic flowers and are found camouflaged among them; these are called flower mantises. Their coloration is aggressive mimicry, luring prey to approach close enough to be seized and eaten.
Periplaneta is a genus of cockroaches containing some of the well-known pest species with cosmopolitan distributions, such as:
Paramenexenus ceylonicus is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Paramenexenus. It is found in Sri Lanka.
Parasosibia ceylonica is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Parasosibia. It is found in Sri Lanka.
Sipyloidea acutipennis is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Sipyloidea. It is found in Sri Lanka.
Sipyloidea bistriolata is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Sipyloidea. It is found in Sri Lanka.
Sipyloidea panaetius is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Sipyloidea. It is found in Sri Lanka.
Sipyloidea sipylus, the pink winged stick insect or Madagascan stick insect, is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Sipyloidea. It is the most widespread phasmid in the world, can be found throughout tropical Asia and parts of Southeast Asia.
Sipyloidea is a genus of stick insects of the family Lonchodidae. Species have been recorded from India, China, Indochina, through to Australasia. The genus was described by Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1893.
Epilampra is a genus of cockroach in the family Blaberidae. There are more than 70 described species in the genus Epilampra.
Pseudomops is a genus of cockroach in the family Ectobiidae. There are more than 40 described species in Pseudomops.
Latiblattella is a genus of cockroach in the family Ectobiidae.
Leptomantella is a genus of praying mantids and typical of the new (2019) family Leptomantellidae. Species have been recorded from Asia.
Humbertiella is a genus of praying mantids in the subfamily Gonypetinae found in Asia.
Rhysida is a large genus of Scolopendromorph centipedes in the subfamily Otostigminae. It is the second largest genus in the subfamily Otostigminae, with species found in the Neotropics, Indo-Malaya, and Africa. It shares some morphological characteristics with the genus Alluropus, and its phylogeny in the subfamily Otostigminae is somewhat uncertain.
