Phylogeny of Blattoidea (Dictyoptera: Blattodea) with a revised classification of Blattidae

Blattoidea are comprised of the major lineages Blattidae, Lamproblattidae, Tryonicidae, Anaplectidae, and Cryptocercidae + Isoptera. Despite a number studies, no consensus exists regarding relationships between these lineages. Additionally, current division Blattidae into Archiblattinae, Blattinae, Macrocercinae Polyzosteriinae needs phylogenetic testing. We present molecular phylogeny recovering all as monophyletic with Lamproblattidae sister to remaining Tryonicidae Contrary many previous we found high degree consistency analyses, possibly due improved taxon sampling. that none currently accepted subfamilies monophyletic. Mapping distribution revealed clear geographic structuring at odds subfamilial classification. Based on results from this other revised classification Blattidae: erect two new subfamilies, Eurycotiinae stat. rev. Austrostylopyginae subfam. nov. , reinstate Duchailluiinae subsume in Polyzosteriinae. also tribes: Polyzosteriini, Methanini Rothisilphini trib. Celatoblattini Within is taxa, while most likely except Duchailluiinae.
