Synopsis of the cockroach family Corydiidae (Blattodea: Corydioidea) in North America, with an identification key to subfamilies and genera, and taxonomic changes

“…For the making of the key, the works of Choate (2009), Estrada-Álvarez andGuadarrama (2013), Gutiérrez (2012), Hebard (1917a), Helfer (1987), Rehn (1903Rehn ( , 1950, Zehntner (1893-1899) and Triplehorn and Johnson (2004) were consulted. The images were obtained from various authors, borrowed from articles (Estrada-Álvarez & Rojas, 2020;Gutiérrez, 2012;Hebard, 1917b;Saussure, 1870), or taken with a SONY α-6000 camera with a SEL30M35 macro lens. All the images were edited using the software GIMP © (Version 2.10).…”

“…The checklist of the North American species of the family Corydiidae (Table 1) includes state records for both Mexico and the USA, and are based mainly in the works of Atkinson et al (1991), Estrada-Álvarez (2013) and ; other mentions for species of this family in the region were also consulted (Choate, 2009;Deyrup & Fisk, 1984;Estrada-Álvarez & Guadarrama, 2012;2013;Estrada-Álvarez & Rojas, 2020;Hebard, 1917a;1917b;1921;Hollier et al, 2020;Mann, 1914;Núñez-Bazán et al, 2021;Peck & Beninger, 1989;Rehn, 1902;Saussure, 1864;1870;Saussure & Zehntner, 1893-1894.…”

“…The subfamily Latindiinae includes the smallest members of this family, some less than 5 mm in length. The males of Myrmecoblatta Mann, 1914 andParalatindia Saussure, 1868 are brachypterous (reduced tegmina and wings) (Deyrup & Fisk, 1984;Estrada-Álvarez & Guadarrama, 2013;Mann, 1914;Estrada-Álvarez & Rojas, 2020). Males of Compsodes Hebard, 1917 andLatindia Stål, 1860 are macropterous.…”

New data on Blaberoidea Saussure, 1864 (Insecta: Blattodea) from Morelos, Mexico, with a new species and a checklist of cockroaches for the state

“…Cockroaches are a small group of hemimetabolous insects with more than 4,400 worldwide described species (Roth 2003;Beccaloni 2014), with a greater occurrence in pantropical regions (Bell et al 2007). In Mexico, 164 species have been reported (Estrada-Álvarez 2013;Estrada-Álvarez & Sormani 2018Estrada-Álvarez & Guadarrama 2020;Estrada-Álvarez & Rojas 2020; and in Morelos, 14 species (Hopkins 2014;Estrada-Álvarez 2013;Estrada-Álvarez & Sormani 2018;.…”
