Length of pronotum 1.85 mm, length of tegmina 2.04 – 2.28 (mean 2.19) mm. (N = 2 / 8). Wings. Apex of tegmina in both sexes usually straight (Fig. 13 H, I), more seldom very weakly concave or convex; hindwings of variable shape, not broadening towards the apex (Fig. 16 J, K). Male abdomen. Tergites: Fig. 16 A – G. T 6 as described under characters of the genus and the species group (Fig. 5 F). T 7. Pit size: minor, largest with size 1 – 2 (Figs. 14 C, 15 B). Anterior pit wall (aw) with relatively large windows (w), which are bilobed by a sharp transversal crest (tc) protruding from the surrounding window frame (wf) towards mesally; stabilising bracelet (s) strongly broadening towards the bottom of the pit; posterior pit wall (pw) with a pair of well developed hemispherical bulges (bu), sometimes having a strongly sclerotised (internal?) surface (Figs. 13 F, 14 A, B, 15 C). In these figures, as well as in Fig. 15 A, the posterior wall of the pit has largely remained in an vertical position, the bulges thus appearing as “ hanging drops ”. Glandular pouches (gp) very short, scarcely surpassing the anterior border of the tergite (Fig. 14 A – C); tubules moderately long, virtually stretched fairly reaching the respective lateral border of the tergite (tu in Fig. 14 B, C); both gland types seem to have their openings into the pit near the window embayment, the arrows in Fig. 15 C, D point to the endpieces of both systems visible through the windows. Genital hook with relatively normally shaped shaft, below the apical process not or only weakly bulged out (Fig. 13 L – N). Colouration pattern in both sexes as typical for the first two species-groups, but dark markings often lighter coloured.	en	Bohn, Horst (2022): Revision of the genus Luridiblatta (Blaberoidea, Ectobiidae, Ectobiinae).

03AED24EFFA4DF2DA5BEFB3CCD84F905.taxon	description	Description. Size. Male. Length of pronotum 1.48 – 1.73 (mean 1.59) mm, length of tegmina 2,16 – 2.83 (mean 2.58) mm. (N = 8 / 11). Female. Length of pronotum 1.68 – 1.99 (mean 1.82) mm, length of tegmina 2.13 – 2.47 (mean 2.30) mm. (N = 7 / 9). Wings. Apex of tegmina in the male usually straight, seldom very weakly concave, in the female usually weakly concave, seldom straight; hindwings in both sexes of variable shape, not broadening towards the apex (Fig. 16 H, I). Male abdomen. Tergites: Fig. 16 A – G. T 6 as described under characters of the genus and the species group (Fig. 6 A). T 7. Pit size: minor, not larger than size 2. Anterior pit wall (aw) with strongly sclerotised area (sa) along the uper margin, well set off by a very dark colouration; towards below the area is limited by the widely bow-shaped edges ed (Fig. 18 D) of a pair of relatively deep excavations of the anterior pit wall, mesally separated by the relatively short and narrow stabilising bracelet (s); occasionally, the excavation is deepening in two steps, with the formation of a second edge (Fig. 17 B) further below. The pit contains structures looking like vesicles (vs) (Figs. 17 B, 18 B, H); more detailed analysis showed that they consist of a clew of tubular structures, presumably formed by the elongated endpieces of the pouches entering the pit via the windows (w, Fig. 17 B) of the anterior wall. Posterior pit wall (pw) with bulges (bu) of very different shape and size (Fig. 18 A – H). Glandular pouches (gp) very short, scarcely surpasing the anterior border of the tergite (Fig. 17 B, 18 B, E, G); tubules (tu) also very short, scarcely measuring more than halfway the distance to the lateral borders of the tergite. Genital hook with relatively normally shaped shaft, below the apical process not or only weakly bulged out (Fig. 16 L – N).	en	Bohn, Horst (2022): Revision of the genus Luridiblatta (Blaberoidea, Ectobiidae, Ectobiinae).

(Fig. 19 I, K) Tegmina: Apical border usually slightly concave, occasionally almost straight. Hindwings: as in male. Male abdomen. Tergites. Fig. 19 A – G. T 6 shows a unique character combination: anterior border mesally strongly produced, transversal ridge present but with a wide median gap, distribution of the large spatular bristles restricted to the posterior half of the tergite surface, laterally with a pair of small deepenings, the anterior one forming a shallow swale (Figs. 1 B, 2 B, 4 A, E, 19 C); for more details see under characters of the genus. T 7. Pit size: largest with size 2 – 3 (Fig. 21 I). Anterior pit wall (aw) in its structure considerably deviating from the usual composition: the strongly sclerotized area sa — in the other species of the genus forming the uppermost part of the anterior pit wall — is not integrated into the wall, but forms a horizontally mounted sclerite stripe anteriorly adjacent to the pit opening (Fig. 20 A, B); posteriorly it bends over in a sharp edge to the rectangularly descending proper pit wall; the latter immediately below the edge often slightly excavated (ec in Fig. 21 D); stabilising bracelet s narrow (Fig. 21 E, H). Posterior pit wall (pw) with a pair of well developed hemispherical bulges (bu, Figs. 20 B, 21 C, D). Glandular pouches (gp) very long, surpassing the anterior border of T 7 for more than the length of T 7 measured at the lateral border, posteriorly ending in a very narrow tailpiece (tp, Fig. 21 F); tubules (tu) very long, reaching far beyond the lateral borders of T 7 (Fig. 19 D), near the tailpieces of the pouches opening into the pit (ot, Fig. 21 F). Genital hook with a relatively normally proportioned shaft, the latter below the apical process strongly bulged out (Fig. 19 L – N). Colouration of male tegmina. Lightly coloured stripe between dark stripes unusually narrow (Figs. 19 H, 21 A).	en	Bohn, Horst (2022): Revision of the genus Luridiblatta (Blaberoidea, Ectobiidae, Ectobiinae).

03AED24EFFA6DF2FA5BEFD66CB18F8A3.taxon	distribution	Distribution. The species is widely distributed on the Italian islands Sardinia and Sicily; from the Italian peninsula it is only known from three localities near the border between Toscana and Latium. The distribution in Algeria seems to be restricted to the most eastern part near the border to Tunesia, with several localities near the Mediterranian coast, in the further surroundings of Annaba, and some localities further inland in the region of Batna. Whether the older report from Saida, far in the West, really concerns this species is doubtful; for this locality L. longitubulata has also to be taken into consideration. The occurrence of the species in California USA, detected by R. Edler, is certainly adventitious.	en	Bohn, Horst (2022): Revision of the genus Luridiblatta (Blaberoidea, Ectobiidae, Ectobiinae).

03AED24EFFB8DF31A5BEFF59C81CFD22.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The type specimen was found in a mixture of specimens from two closely adjacent localities containing also several specimens of L. trivittata. It is, therefore, not clear whether the two species were found at the same locality. III. The beybienkoi- species group Characters (all group specific, differing from those of the other two species groups) Male T 6. Strongly specialised: Anterior border mesally not produced, but tergite as a whole curved towards anteriorly, with the shortest length among the three species groups (Figs 1 D, 6 B – D); additionally well characterised by the unique bristle pattern and the so-called “ draining system ” consisting of the specialised deepenings and trenches connecting them (Figs. 2 D – H, 3 B, 4 B – D, 5 A, C, D); for more details see description under genus characters. Wings. Male tegmina fairly reaching up to the abdominal end, apex symmetrically rounded (Figs. 23 F; 25 G; 29 G; 31 G); hindwings in both sexes as in the trivittata - group broadening towards apically, apex usually with a shallow concavity (Figs 23 H, I; 25 I, J; 29 I, J; 31 I, J). Tergite 1 – 5 covered only with very short bristles having a pointed tip (Fig. 36 D). Orientation of T 7 pit. Pit with an inclination of about 45 ° descending from the opening towards ventroposteriorly. Pit opening at the lateral angles elongated to a narrow and low gutter almost reaching the lateral borders of T 7 (gu in Fig. 33 A – J). Anterior pit wall without strongly sclerotised and sculptured cuticle along the upper margin, stronger sclerotisation restricted to the upper edge of the wall, appearing as a thin dark contour line (ab in Figs. 24 A; 27 A; 30 B; 32 D). Window frame bordering the windows of the anterior pit wall below the arc on both sides with a number of closely approached transversal folds (tf in Figs. 24 C; 27 A, B; 30 A; 32 G). Anterior border of T 8 mesally weakly convex (Fig. 25 E, F), straight (Fig. 23 D, E), or shallowly concave (Figs. 29 E, F; 31 E, F), only far laterally with rough cuticle. Genital hook with an unusually broad shaft, diameter at middle length equals about a half of the total length (Fig. 23 J, K), part of the species moreover with huge crest and two antler processes (Figs. 25 K, L; 29 K, L; 31 K, L). Colouration of tegmina. Dispersed bristles of the lightly coloured area between the dark longitudinal stripes arising in the center of a dark dot (Figs. 24 F, G; 24 H, I; 26 A, B; 32 A, B). Colouration of male and female tegites. Males very lightly coloured, T 1 – 5 at most with a relatively small mesal patch, sometimes only present on the more anterior tergites (Figs. 23 A; 25 A, B; 29 A, B; 31 A, B). Females much darker coloured, with 3 – 7 patches per tergite (Fig. 35 E – H). — Mesal patch of T 1 in female broadly T-shaped (Fig. 35 E – H). [Pre-ridge area not considered; for a more detailed description see under characters of the genus.] Colouration of meso- and metanotum in larvae of medium and higher age. With three longitudinal dark stripes as in the preceding species groups, but both nota additionally with a pair of dark patches in between (Fig. 36 B). Additional features, applying to all species of the group: Glandular pouches long, considerably surpassing the anterior border of T 7; glandular tubules very short, virtually stretched not reaching the lateral borders of the tergite; the structures of the pit are also very similar in all species of the group. In the following descriptions the various structures are usually only mentioned and the figures cited on which they are well visible, but not further described.	en	Bohn, Horst (2022): Revision of the genus Luridiblatta (Blaberoidea, Ectobiidae, Ectobiinae).

The distribution is — as far as known — restricted to a rather narrow zone in central Israel, mainly west of Jerusalem at a latitude between 31 ° 30 ’ and 32 ° 00 ’ N (Fig. 41) but may reach further to the South: Chopard (1963) is presumably right in assigning a larva from Ein Gedi to this species (Isr 2). Whether the two larvae from Tel Aviv (Isr 7) and the Tel Baruch Beach (Isr 5) — both localities situated slightly north of 32 ° 00 ’ — also belong to this species cannot be decided now.	en	Bohn, Horst (2022): Revision of the genus Luridiblatta (Blaberoidea, Ectobiidae, Ectobiinae).

03AED24EFFBADF33A5BEFE14CB21FC8F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Unfortunately, all available imagines were grown in the laboratory from relatively young larval stages, conditions which may cause abnormal imaginal moultings. Indeed, some of the imagines show crumpled wings due to incomplete stretching. Since, however, the majority of the specimens appears normal and uniform in all important characters it appears justified to erect a new species for the Cypric representatives. There are two more arguments for the assumption that the breeding conditions did not noticeably influence the normal expression of the specific characters: (1) The unusually dark colouration of the Cypric representatives in comparison with other species of the beybienkoi - group; usually, specimens moulted in captivity rather have a lighter than a darker colouration. (2) Numerous of the specimens of L. beybienkoi and L. quadrivittata from Israel had also been collected as larvae (though in a slightly later stage than those from Cyprus); none of the corresponding imagines showed remarkable differences in the specific characters.	en	Bohn, Horst (2022): Revision of the genus Luridiblatta (Blaberoidea, Ectobiidae, Ectobiinae).

Tergites. Fig. 31 A – F. T 6. Highly specialised as described under characters of the genus and the beybienkoi - group; in the main structures not differing from the other species of the group (Fig. 6 D). Two alleged specialties visible in this figure, a membraneous transversal fold (fo) and a w-shaped dark line between the anterior bristle stripes (arrowhead) are occasionally also found in other species of the beybienkoi- group. The comparison with the other species (Figs. 1 D, 6 B, C) shows, however, that there are differences in the distance between the anterior bristle stripes; the distance is smallest in L. graeca (mean: 19.8 % of the breadth of the tergite; L. beybienkoi 22.3 %, L. quadrivittata 23.4 %, L. cyprica 25.7 %). But since there is considerable overlap between the species (see corresponding values for each species under “ Size ”) these differences are of little value for species separation. T 7. Pit. Anterior border (ab) of the pit opening laterally continuing into an narrow fold or edge (ed) converging with the gutter (gu) and approaching it closely near the lateral border of the tergite (Figs. 31 D, 33 H – J); pit size: up to size 5 (Fig. 31 D); anterior pit wall (aw) with transparent windows (w), stabilising bracelet (s), window frame (wf), and transversal folds (tf, Fig. 32 C – G); posterior pit wall (pw) with a pair of bulges (bu), either shallowly bowlshaped (Fig. 32 F), or, more often, with a strange rectangular appearance (Fig. 33 H – J). Glandular pouches (gp) long, tubules (tu), short, more or less club-shaped, rather massive, in nearly every preparation well visible (Figs. 31 D, 33 J). Genital hook.

Pronotum and mesonotum not deviating from the generalised pattern; abdominal tergites with three small dark patches (apart from the indistinct lateral ones), median patch of T 1 T-shaped: narrowly triangular, laterally along the transversal ridge produced in a narrow stripe (Fig. 35 I). Relationship. The small size of the patches on the abdominal tergites and the shape of the median patch on T 1 would allow the alignment to the beybienko- group; the absence of the submesal pair of patches on T 2 - 6 is not contradictory, since these patches may also be weakly developed in other species of the group. But as long as the male sex is not known an exact positioing is not possible.

03AED24EFFB1DF3AA5BEFA4CCBA9FC3F.taxon	description	Looking for species or species groups possibly related to the genus Luridiblatta first the panteli - group of Phyllodromica has to be mentioned which is distributed in Southern Spain and North-Western Morocco (Bohn 1993). The species of this group have glandular structures on T 7 resembling those of Luridiblatta: a pair of large tubes anteriorly, and a pair of narrower tubules posteriorly. But, a proper pit is not developed, the larger tubes open either separately or via a short common atrium about at middle length of T 7, not at the anterior border as in Luridiblatta. The tubules also open separately, shortly behind the opening (s) of the tubes. There are also strong differences in the histological structure of the glandular tubes: in the panteli - group they have a distinct cuticular lining which is, however, missing in Luridiblatta. Similarities with Luridiblatta can also be found in the structure of the genital hook: an acutely pointed velum and a partly broadened shaft. But the similarity in the latter character is rather weak and only present in the more derived species of the panteli- group. Thus, only the velum remains as a common character of both groups possibly pleading for close relationship. But the agreement in this character appears neglectable in view of the numerous characters in which they differ, as are the structures of male T 6,7, S 9 and phallomeres, female genital sclerites (in panteli - group symmetrical), and wings of both sexes. The most important differences are those concerning male S 9 and phallomeres: Luridiblatta species have a specialised stylus, but no scale sclerite and thus belonging to “ Ectobiinae Category I ” (Bohn 2019), while the species of the panteli - group have an unspecialised stylus and a scale sclerite showing their belonging to the “ Ectobiinae Category II ”. Similarities with Luridiblatta are also found in the maculata - group of Phyllodromica (Bohn & Chládek 2011): a fairly strong excision of the posterior border of T 7 which in some species is strengthened to an apparent splitting of T 7. But strong differences in other structures (hindwings, male glandular pit, phallomeres, scale sclerite, and stylus, and female genital sclerites and ootheca) argue for an independent development of this character in both groups; the maculata - group also belongs to “ Ectobiinae Category II ”. Asymmetries of the basivalvular sclerites as found in the female genital sclerites of Luridiblatta can also be observed in the erythronotus - group of Ectobius, though to a less strong degree: the right dorsal basivalvular sclerite is slightly longer and broader at its anterior end than the left (Bohn, unpublished results). Though the erythronotus - group fulfils the criteria for a membership in the “ Ectobiinae Category I ” (with specialised stylus, without scale sclerite), and though asymmetry in female genitals of Ectobiinae is relative seldom, the slight similarity mentioned is not sufficient to allow the assumption of a close relationship with Luridiblatta; apart from the specialised stylus no other important character is known which is shared by both groups.	en	Bohn, Horst (2022): Revision of the genus Luridiblatta (Blaberoidea, Ectobiidae, Ectobiinae). Zootaxa 5215 (1): 1-72, DOI: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5215.1.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-04-22-0755-PDN
03AED24EFFB1DF3AA5BEFA4CCBA9FC3F.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology The developmental strategy of Luridiblatta species is unusual for European Ectobiinae. They are univoltine, overwintering as ootheca; the larvae hatch in spring and develop to imagines until late summer or autumn (August, September) of the same year — a kind of development which they share with the representatives of genus Capraiellu s (Bohn & al. 2013), while most other European Ectobiinae have a bivoltine development with imagines appearing in spring. It appears astonishing, that the animals pass their main growth and developmental phases in the season with highest temperatures and strongest dryness (June to August). The distribution in Europe — only in the South of the Mediterranean countries — points to their preference of high temperatures. The species of Luridiblatta are preferably found in tufts of dry grass, occasionally also among leaf litter of olive or eucalyptus trees. The handsome colouration — yellowish straw-coloured with dark longitudinal lines — can be seen as a cryptic adaptation to their environment.	en	Bohn, Horst (2022): Revision of the genus Luridiblatta (Blaberoidea, Ectobiidae, Ectobiinae).
