Taxonavigation

Ordo: Blattodea

Name

Balta Tepper, 1893 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

Diagnosis

See Che et al. (2010)[7].

Discussion

The characters of L. nodigera Bey-Bienko and L. valida Bey-Bienko were compared with the generic diagnosis of Lupparia: the hind wing of the two species with the apical triangle small or not distinct differs from the main generic characters of Lupparia, and are consistent with Balta. The two species also share the following characters: 1) abdominal tergites unspecialized, tarsal claws strongly asymmetrical and unspecialized; 2) median phallomere appendage present and with brush-like structure; 3) front femur type B or C, which are also consistent with Balta. Therefore the two species are transferred to the genus Balta.
