Three new species of subterranean cockroach of the genus Nocticola from the Pilbara region of Western Australia are described on morphological characters of males. Nocticola quartermainei n. sp., Nocticola cockingi n. sp. and Nocticola currani n. sp. occur in fractured rock landforms and have varying degrees of troglomorphies. Sequence divergence of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COXI) clearly demonstrated populations are reproductively isolated over very short distances for the highly troglomorphic Nocticola cockingi n. sp. and Nocticola currani n. sp. and conversely, there is less isolation within the same landforms for the less troglomorphic Nocticola quartermainei n. sp.
基于雄性的形态特征，描述了来自西澳大利亚皮尔巴拉地区的夜栖蟑螂属（Nocticola）的三种新地下蟑螂物种。新种四氏夜栖蟑螂（Nocticola quartermainei n. sp.）、科氏夜栖蟑螂（Nocticola cockingi n. sp.）和柯氏夜栖蟑螂（Nocticola currani n. sp.）出现在破碎岩石地貌中，且具有不同程度的洞穴适应性特征。线粒体细胞色素c氧化酶亚基I（COXI）的序列差异清楚地表明，对于高度洞穴适应性的科氏夜栖蟑螂和柯氏夜栖蟑螂，种群在很短距离内就实现了生殖隔离；相反，对于洞穴适应性较低的四氏夜栖蟑螂，在同一地貌内的隔离程度较小。
