The Dusky Cockroach is a relatively small cockroach with a dark grey-brown body, fringed with a pale translucent margin to pronotum and forewing. It is mainly ground dwelling and is easy to overlook in the scrub, grassland and woodland habitats which it favours. Adults can be seen during the summer months and fly in warm weather.
