Some new brachypterous cockroaches (Blattodea: Blaberidae: Epilamprinae) from the Philippines

Abstract

A new genus and species of brachypterous cockroach, Decoralampra fulgencioi gen. et sp. nov. is described from the Philippines. On the basis of the abbreviated tegmina and bristles of the folded structure of left phallomere, it is hypothesized to be close to the genus Cyrtonotula Uravov 1939 and Howintoniella Roth 1981. Also a new species, C. maquilingensis sp. nov. is described. This is the fourth species of the genus and the first to be recorded in the Philippines.

New record of Cyrtonotula Uvarov, 1939 (Blaberidae, Epilamprinae) from China, with three new species based on morphological and COI data

“…Mavropulo et al (2015) described two species from Indonesia and provided a description on the male genitalia of this genus for the first time. Later, a fourth species was described from the Philippines (Lucañas 2017). To date, there are four known Cyrtonotula species worldwide and none from China.…”
