Description
Genus Notolampra Saussure, 1862
Type species: Epilampra lucida Saussure, 1862 (junior synonym of Blatta gibba Thunberg, 1826), by monotypy.
Remarks: According to structures of the male genitalia the type species is similar to representatives of the genus Colapteroblatta (see above), whereas its habitus is similar to that of Thorax pocellana (Saussure, 1862), the type and so far only species of the genus Thorax Saussure, 1862. The male genitalia of Thorax (see Anisyutkin, 2014), however, clearly differ from those of Notolampra and Colapteroblatta. I assume that the similarity in the appearance of Notolampra and Thorax is due to convergence.
Species included: Three species from South America (Brazil, Surinam, French Guiana, Martinique, Trinidad and Tobago), as given in Beccaloni (2014).
