Capraiellus panzeri

Capraiellus panzeri is a species of non-cosmopolitan cockroach in the subfamily Ectobiinae: commonly known by its original (genus) name Ectobius panzeri.

This European species extends into NW Africa and is localised in southern Britain, where it may be called the lesser cockroach. Recent work indicated that Ectobius panzeri panzeri (i.e. as found in Britain) should be placed in the genus Capraiellus and this has now been confirmed.
