Ein Mehrwege-Schlüssel: Kreuze die sichtbaren Merkmale in beliebiger Reihenfolge an – die Artenliste wird dabei kürzer, und die Zahlen neben jedem Merkmal zeigen, wie viele Arten übrig blieben. Mehrere Zustände desselben Merkmals werden mit „oder“ verknüpft.
Arbeitsversion – die Daten werden noch geprüft. Der Schlüssel hilft beim Eingrenzen, eine sichere Bestimmung der Ectobius-Arten erfordert aber oft die Untersuchung eines Männchens unter dem Stereomikroskop.
The commonest woodland cockroach in Poland. The pronotum is black with broad, pale translucent margins. The female has clearly shortened wings.

Paler than E. sylvestris. The female’s wings are almost as long as the male’s. Reliable separation from related species requires examining the male’s dorsal gland.
→ ArtseiteOne of the three Ectobius species confirmed in Poland before 2024 (with E. sylvestris and E. lapponicus). Easily confused with E. lapponicus – reliable identification requires a male. Key characters still to be completed.

Entirely pale, straw-yellow, with tiny dark dots on the wings. Both sexes are fully winged. Occurrence in Poland is doubtful – older records may refer to other Ectobius species.

A southern species spreading north through Europe; the first confirmed Polish record dates from 2024. Pale, uniformly yellowish-brown and attracted to light. Can be mistaken for the German cockroach but lacks the pronotal stripes.
→ ArtseiteVery small and dark. Both sexes have shortened wings and cannot fly. Easily overlooked in leaf litter. Features and distribution need verification.

Easily recognised by the two dark longitudinal stripes on its pale pronotum. The female often carries the ootheca until the nymphs hatch.
→ Artseite
Two pale transverse bands across the wings and abdomen. Avoids moisture and is found in rooms more than in kitchens. Rarely recorded in Poland.
→ Artseite
Large, dark brown to black and glossy. The male’s wings do not reach the abdomen tip and the female has only small lobes. Cannot climb smooth surfaces.
→ Artseite
The male is pale rusty and fully winged. The female is dark, with vestigial wings and cream patches on the sides of the thorax. In Poland known mainly from cultures.
→ Artseite.jpg/500px-Periplaneta_americana_-_American_cockroach_(25859665686).jpg)
The largest cockroach found in Poland. Reddish-brown, with a paler ring around the pronotum. Both sexes have long wings.
→ Artseite
Similar to the American cockroach, but with a bright yellow pronotal ring and a yellow stripe at the base of the wings.
→ Artseite
Stocky, dark and glossy, with paler wings. European populations are mostly parthenogenetic females, so males are rarely seen.
