Giant cockroaches, or blaberids, are the second-largest cockroach family by number of species. Mostly distributed in warmer climates worldwide, this family is based on the American genus Blaberus, but much of the diversity is also found in Africa and Asia.
Blattidae is a cockroach family in the order Blattodea containing several of the most common household cockroaches. Notable species include:
Ectobiidae is a family of the order Blattodea (cockroaches). This family contains many of the smaller common household pest cockroaches, among others. They are sometimes called wood cockroaches. A few notable species include:
Periplaneta is a genus of cockroaches containing some of the well-known pest species with cosmopolitan distributions, such as:
Diploptera, occasionally called beetle cockroaches, is a genus of blaberid cockroaches in the monotypic subfamily Diplopterinae. Cockroaches of this genus resemble beetles, with hardened tegmina and cross-folded hindwings. They live in tropical forests in South China and Southeast Asia, and Pacific islands including Hawaii. They are viviparous cockroaches and are therefore used for insect endocrinological studies.
Ectobius is a genus of non-cosmopolitan cockroaches once thought native to the Old World and described by James Francis Stephens in 1835, belonging to the family Ectobiidae, subfamily Ectobiinae. The discovery of 4 ectobius cockroaches in Colorado dating to 49 million years ago suggests the genus actually originated in North America. This genus has been subject to a number of revisions.
Neostylopyga is a genus of cockroaches described by Robert Walter Campbell Shelford in 1911.
The Pseudophyllodromiinae are a subfamily of cockroaches, in the family Ectobiidae, with a world-wide distribution.
Epilampra is a genus of cockroach in the family Blaberidae. There are more than 70 described species in the genus Epilampra.
Ischnoptera is a genus of cockroach in the family Ectobiidae.
Salganea is a genus of South East Asian cockroaches in the subfamily Panesthiinae, erected by Carl Stål in 1877.
Pycnoscelus is a genus of cockroaches in the family Blaberidae. Species in the genus Pycnoscelus are recorded from India, China and SE Asia.
Deropeltis is a genus of African cockroaches in the family Blattidae, also known as hunchback roaches, erected by Hermann Burmeister in 1838.
Maoriblatta is a genus of cockroaches belonging to the family Blattidae.
Rhabdoblatta is a genus of cockroaches in the subfamily Epilamprinae. Species have been recorded from Africa, East, Southeast and South Asia.
Panesthia is a large genus of burrowing giant cockroach in the subfamily Panesthiinae. It is subsocial and its species are mainly found in Southeast Asia, coastal East Asia, Australasia, and Indo-Malaysia.
Allacta is a genus of SE Asian and Australian cockroaches in the subfamily Pseudophyllodromiinae.
Loboptera is a genus of mostly Palaearctic cockroaches erected by Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1865; it appears to be currently placed in the subfamily Blattellinae. The recorded distribution for species includes: mainland Europe, North Africa, Cameroun, the Middle East through to central Asia.
Dziriblatta is a genus of mostly Palaearctic cockroaches in the subfamily Ectobiinae, erected by Lucien Chopard in 1936. For several decades synonymized with Lobolampra, the genus was returned to valid status by Bohn in 2019, who provides information on its characteristics and differentiation from other genera, with a key to the subgenera. The species distribution includes: North Africa, the Iberian peninsula and associate Atlantic Ocean islands, with probably incomplete locality records to Cyprus and the Middle East.
