Genus
Neostylopyga
Shelford, 1911
Type
species:
Blatta rhombifolia
Stoll, 1813
. By subsequent designation.
Notes
. The name
Neostylopyga
was proposed by
Shelford (1911b)
to replace the preoccupied generic name
Stylopyga
Brunner von
Wattenwyl, 1865
.
The genus
Neostylopyga
includes
Blattinae
cockroaches with strongly reduced tegmina and wings. The remarkable diversity in structure of the male genitalia gives us an opportunity to assume this genus is artificial and needs to be revised, in particular on base of extensive investigation of the genitalic structures.
The structure of the male genitalia of the
type
species,
N
.
rhombifolia
, resembles
Periplaneta americana
(
Linnaeus, 1758
)
, the
type
species of the genus
Periplaneta
Burmeister, 1838
(
Anisyutkin 2010
