}} Archimylacris (meaning "primitive Mylacris", in reference to another species of Carboniferous cockroach) is an extinct genus of cockroach-like blattopterans, a group of insects ancestral to cockroaches, mantids, and termites. Archimylacris lived on the warm, swampy forest floors of North America and Europe 300 million years ago, in the Late Carboniferous times. Like modern cockroaches, this insect had a large head shield with long, curved antennae, or feelers, and folded wings. To a modern observer, it would likely appear as a moderate-sized cockroach, with a "tail" (ovipositor) in the female. Presumably, its habits would be cockroach-like, too, scurrying along the undergrowth eating anything edible, possibly falling prey to labyrinthodont amphibians and very early reptiles. The average length of Archimylacris species was 2–3 cm.[1] References1. ^[https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=-78LDR9ihiYC&oi=fnd&pg=PP6&dq=Archimylacris+&ots=6CLH8P9FYN&sig=QrbbcnTDOl_xcaFz8ljxnXYD2ps#v=onepage&q=Archimylacris&f=false "A Monograph of the Fossil Insects of the British Coal Measures"] {{Portal|Paleontology}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q309761}}{{paleo-insect-stub}}{{Carboniferous-animal-stub}} 8 : Pennsylvanian insects|Prehistoric insect genera|Paleozoic insects of North America|Transitional fossils|Fossil insects of North America|Fossil insects of Europe|Fossil taxa described in 1868|Paleozoic life of Nova Scotia |
