Saltoblattella montistabularis

Saltoblattella montistabularis is a species of jumping cockroach, in the tribe Baltini known only from Table Mountain near Cape Town, South Africa.

[2] Its jumping mechanism is similar in anatomical features and in performance to grasshoppers with which it shares its habitat.

[3] Since the discovery and description of S. montistabularis in 2009 at least two more species have been discovered—one from the Cape Cederberg, one from Bredasdorp and a third with black and white stripes from Mossel Bay and Nature's Valley.

[4][failed verification] The generic name, Saltoblattella is a compound Latin word that translates as "jumping small cockroach.

Many of the specializations are apparently jumping adaptations, reflected in unusual morphology of eyes, antennae, legs and tergite glands.
