Placoblatta Bey-Bienko 1969

Description

Genus Placoblatta Bey-Bienko, 1969

Type species: Placoblatta rugosa Bey-Bienko, 1969, by monotypy.

Remarks: The genus Placoblatta was originally monotypic and established on the basis of females from North Vietnam (Bey-Bienko, 1969). The male of the type species was described later (Anisyutkin, 1999). Other species of Placoblatta were described from Sri Lanka (see Anisyutkin & Yushkova, 2017) and South Vietnam (see Anisyutkin, 2018b). Thus the genus Placoblatta is widely distributed in Asia. It can be assumed that many representatives of this genus are still undescribed.

Species included: Placoblatta rugosa, P. beybienkoi Anisyutkin, in Anisyutkin & Yushkova, 2017, P. minor Anisyutkin, 2018b and P. semialata sp. nov.
