“…More than 4,000 known species in the world (Beccaloni 2014) are classified into three superfamilies: Blaberoidea Seassure 1864, Blattoidea Latreille 1810, and Corydoidea Seassure 1864. More than 160 species are in Mexico (Estrada-Álvarez 2013, 2022) with species in all three superfamilies (Blaberoidea, Blattoidea, and Corydoidea). Except termites (Blattoidea: Termitotidae: Termitidae), Blattoidea superfamily has five families: Anaplectidae Walker 1868, Blattidae Latreille 1810, Lamproblattidae McKittrick 1964, Tryonicidae McKittrick and Mackerras 1965, and Cryptocercidae Handlirsch 1925 (Beccaloni 2014), of which only Blattidae occurs in Mexico, with Eutycotis Stål 1874, Blatta Linneaus 1758, Neostylopyga Shelford 1911, Periplaneta Burmeister 1838, and Shelfordella Adelung 1910 genera (Estrada-Álvarez 2013).…”
