EurycanthablattaFritzsche and Zompro, 2008 (incertae sedis)Remarks.
Fritzsche & Zompro established that Eurycanthablatta genitalia were, in part, similar to both Cryptocercus and Lamproblatta. Unfortunately, due to the lack of a more detailed description, or imaging of these characters, they are not systematically useful. Based on the data in the original paper, we think it is reasonable to assume this taxon is Blattoidea and indeed could be closely related to Xylophagodea. Given that it is so morphologically different from both Cryptocercus, and the other Lamproblattidae, we think it is possible that Eurycanthablatta could represent a new deep lineage. Yet, without material for examination or further details about the types of Eurycanthablatta pugionata, we cannot make systematic progress on this taxon. We consider it to be incertae sedis in Kittrickea based on the limited information available.
