''Parcoblatta uhleriana'', the Uhler's wood cockroach, is a species of ''Parcoblatta'' native to the United States and Canada.〔〔〔 It is a forest species also found in disturbed and urban environments.〔〔 The male of the species flies freely, while the female does not fly.〔 ==Description== The male ''Parcoblatta uhleriana'' is a mostly uniform pale brownish-yellow, with slightly darker tegmina (outer forewings).〔 It is relatively slender, with a broad head, and brownish stripe from the middle of its eyes downward. Its pronotum (the shield behind its head) is subelliptical (nearly elliptical), widest at the middle, and rounded angles.〔 The female of the species coloration is more variable, but is usually a shining blackish-brown, and sometimes a dark reddish-brown except its abdomen.〔 Most of the legs, and the edges of the tegmina, are a chestnut brown.〔 It is broader, with a wider head, than the male.〔 Its pronotum is suborbicular (nearly round), widest near the base.〔 Tegmina at most reach the second abdominal segment, and its wings are rudimentary.〔 Females are readily distinguished from allied species by their short, separated tegmina and shining black color, while males are more difficult to separate from ''P. fulvescens'' and ''P. virginica''.〔 The ootheca (egg case) is typically wide, and variously reported as ranging from long.〔〔 It has a row of small, well-spaced conical projections which set it apart as "an entirely different type from that known for any other species of the genus".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Parcoblatta uhleriana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
