Gromphadorhina is a genus of large, flightless cockroaches from southern Madagascar;[1] they are typical of the tribe Gromphadorhini (hissing cockroaches) and common in the pet trade.[2][1] In the older literature, the name is sometimes misspelled as Gromphadorrhina.[2]

Species

The Cockroach Species File[2] lists:

  1. Gromphadorhina grandidieri Kirby, 1904
  2. Gromphadorhina oblongonota van Herrewege, 1973
  3. Gromphadorhina picea van Herrewege, 1973
  4. Gromphadorhina portentosa (Schaum, 1853) - type species (as Hormetica portentosa Schaum)

As pets

All four Gromphadorhina species are widely kept as exotic pets, where the most well-known species is the Madagascar hissing cockroach, (G. portentosa), though this is debatable as at least two other species in the genus are commonly confused with it; G. oblongonota[3] Шаблон:Better source neededand G. picea.[1]
