Drymaplaneta semivitta is a species of cockroach native to Australia and introduced to New Zealand. In New Zealand, it is known as the Gisborne cockroach, after the city of Gisborne where it was first discovered in the country. It has also been claimed to have first appeared in Tauranga in 1954, probably arriving on a log shipment.
