Abstract

A new species of highly troglobitic cockroach, Nocticola baumi n. sp., is described from limestone caves of Papua Province, Indonesia. The new species is the first Nocticola reported in New Guinea island and differs from other known Nocticola spp. by the combination of the following characters: compound eyes and ocelli absent, tegmina fully developed extending beyond the abdomen, hind wings absent, legs extremely long. The discovery of the genus on New Guinea bridges the gap between Oriental and Australian distribution of the genus and stresses the unknown diversity of the genus.

摘要

一种新的高度洞穴蜚蠊物种，即巴氏夜蠊（Nocticola baumi n. sp.），来自印度尼西亚巴布亚省的石灰岩洞穴。该新种是首次在新几内亚岛报道的夜蠊属物种，与其他已知的夜蠊属物种不同，其特征组合为：复眼和小眼缺失，完整的前翅延伸超出腹部，后翅缺失，腿极长。该属在新几内亚的发现填补了该属在东洋和澳大拉西亚分布之间的空白，强调了该属未知的多样性。
