Notes on some corydiid species from China, with the description of a new genus (Blattodea: Corydioidea: Corydiidae)

Phylogeny and age of cockroaches: a reanalysis of mitogenomes with selective fossil calibrations

“…However, Cretaholocompsa significantly differs from Holocompsa in the presence of large spines along the ventral margin of midfemora (other legs unknown) (Qiu L et al 2020b). Besides, according to recent accounts of Corydiidae, such spines are absent from all femora in this family (e.g., Estrada-Alvarez and Guadarrama 2012, Hopkins 2014, Crespo et al 2015, Qiu L 2017, Qiu L et al 2017, 2019a, 2019b, 2020b.…”

Minpolyphaga inexpectata, a new genus and species of Polyphagini (Blattodea: Corydiidae: Corydiinae) from southeast China

“…Reports on Corydiidae species from this province are scarce, among which, Eucorydia dasytoides (Walker, 1868) is the most frequently recorded species (WALKER 1868;KIRBY 1903KIRBY , 1904WU 1935;BEY-BIENKO 1954;PRINCIS 1963;ZHAO 1982;WOO et al 1986;FENG & WOO 1999;QIU et al 2017;LIU et al 2017). One species of Tivia Walker, 1869 was also recently reported (LIU et al 2017, QIU et al 2019. Eupolyphaga yunnanensis (Chopard, 1922) was also mentioned from Fujian in FENG & WOO (1999), although this record requires confi rmation, since this species is mainly recorded from the highlands of west China (QIU et al 2018b).…”

“…As a typical group of Corydiidae, Polyphagini is mainly distributed in the Palaearctic, Oriental and Nearctic Regions. Three genera and 23 species are known from China (QIU et al 2019). Eupolyphaga Chopard, 1929 is the most abundant genus of Polyphagini in China, which includes 20 named species; while the genera Polyphaga Bolívar, 1882 and Epipolyphaga Qiu, Che & Wang, 2019 are represented in China by two and one species, respectively (QIU et al 2018a(QIU et al , b, 2019.…”

Notes on the genus Ctenoneura Hanitsch, 1925 with description of six new species (Dictyoptera: Corydiidae)

“…Nevertheless, in my opinion only the homology of the R3 sclerite is undisputed. The plate-like and curved sclerite R3 is common not only in species of the Corydiidae, for instance representatives of the genera Polyphaga Brullé, 1835, Therea Billberg, 1820 and Tivia Walker, 1869 (see Klass, 1997;Qiu et al, 2019), but also in species of the Cryptocercidae (see Klass, 1997), of Blattidae, for instance representatives of the genera Periplaneta Burmeister, 1838, Macrostylopyga Anisyutkin, Anichkin & Nguyen, 2013and Duchailluia Rehn, 1933(see Klass, 1997Anisyutkin et al, 2013;Anisyutkin, 2014;Anisyutkin & Telnov, 2018), of Tryonicidae (see Klass, 1997), of Lamproblattidae (see Klass, 1997), of Anaplectidae (see Klass, 1997) and of Nocticolidae, for instance representatives of the genus Nocticola Bolivar, 1892 (see Andersen & Kjaerandsen, 1995). The homologization of the other structures of the male genitalia needs confirmation.…”

“…In this paper I follow Beccaloni (2014) and Qiu et al (2019) who consider Ctenoneura as Corydiidae incertae sedis. Clarification of the phylogenetic position of the genus requires further research.…”
