Abstract
Abstract P. aegyptiaca was observed in rock shelters in a desertic location, 1200 m above sea level in Asir, Saudi Arabia. Each cavity harboured a small population of 1 to 15 individuals. These groups generally included a few adults with larvae. Cockroaches burrowed in the sand on the ground of rock shelters. Oothecae were found in the sand and they were made up of 8 to 12 eggs. P. aegyptiaca differs by many traits of its bionomics from other Polyphaginae cockroaches which inhabit the sand beneath cushion shrubs.
