Zephyr Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 So I was cruising around on Bugguide today and noticed this page: http://bugguide.net/node/view/7854 Has Blattellidae been changed to Ectobiidae??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Check out the other changes. There have been quite a few proposed hierarchy schemes, but how to decide? Cockroaches were Orthopterans not too many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 I like the superfamily set-up but, if anything, the relationship between the Blaberids and Blattellinae should be made more clear. It looks like Cryptocercids are now included in the Blattidae; I thought phylogenetic work showed they were in the Polyphagidae (now Corydioidea it looks like...)?
