Abstract
Reproductive data for the following species of Blaberidae are reported: Eublaberus posticus (Erichson), E. distanti (Kirby), Blaberus discoidalis Serville, and Phortiocca phoraspoides (Walker)- E. posticus can withstand starvation for as long as 9 months and is capable of reproducing during starvation. The effects of mating and starvation on reproduction vary considerably in different species of false ovoviviparous Blaberidae. Several species of Oxyhaloinae were found to have stridulating structures on the tegmina and pronotumThis publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
