Dziriblatta (Dziriblatta) and its species

Diagnosis of the subgenus. Male characterized by the long pouch lobes of the T7 gland surpassing the anterior border of T7 considerably, in some species for more than the length of T7; distinguished from subgenus Macaroblatta with in some cases similar pouch by the single spine on the left paraproct; subgenus Sulcoblatta, which also has rather long lobes, differs by having two pairs of lobes and a T6 with a gutter at the lateral margins. Posterior lobe of T10 (posteriorly of the cerci) transversal, trapezoidal, with fairly straight or concave mesal part of the posterior border; T 10 in Macaroblatta similarly transversal, but posterior border otherwise specialized. Tegmina in both sexes lobiform, not surpassing the mesonotum, very narrow, narrowly triangular or tongue-shaped; similarly narrow tegmina only present in two species of Pauciscleroblatta, a subgenus with very short pouch lobes. For further characters see Bohn 2019.

The species of the subgenus can be divided into two species groups differing in the structure of glandular pit and pouches, in the shape of the posterior border of T10, in the arrangement of spatular bristles laterally on T7 and in the relative length of T6.
