Abstract

The collections of litter-baited cockroaches (Dictyoptera: Blattodea) from Bulalon Cave in Polillo Island from a previous study were revisited. After re-examination of the five morphospecies initially reported, only two species are now recognized. Blattidae sp. 2 and sp. 4 are nymphs of Hemithyrsocera sp., while Blattidae sp. 1, sp. 3 and Cryptocercidae sp. 1 are hereby identified as Pycnoscelus striatus (Kirby), a new record for the Philippines. The abundance and distribution of P. striatus is discussed and the importance of depositing voucher specimens in reputable collections is also emphasized.
