Cristian C. Lucañas

Abstract

A new blattid genus, Bundoksia gen. nov. is described based on the Philippine species, Cartoblatta rufocercata (Shelford, 1910 Shelford R. 1910. Orthoptera Fam. Blattidae Subfam. Blattinae (= Periplanetinae). In: Wytsman P, editor. Genera Insectorum. Belgique: L. Desmet-Verteneuil Bruxelles; p. 1–27. [Google Scholar]). Bundoksia rufocercata comb. nov. is proposed and redescribed, and a new species, B. sibuyania sp. nov. is described. The new genus possesses some characters present from Archiblattinae and Blattinae. A key is provided for Archiblattinae and sexually dimorphic Blattinae genera.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:5BD878FB-ED32-4CF6-AEF0-9AE17A27DB8D
