Research reports new species of Anaplectoidea in India, highlighting taxonomy of Blattodea families.
The genus Anaplectoidea Shelford, 1906 is an oriental taxon represented by 13 species in South, South East Asia and China. In the present study, we report the discovery of the genus Anaplectoidea in India, with the description of two new species, Anaplectoidea indica sp. nov. and Anaplectoidea garoensis sp. nov. from Jharkhand and Meghalaya, respectively. Based on a single female specimen, we also report one undescribed species of Anaplectoidea from the Western Ghats. The type specimens of the new species are deposited at the Southern Regional Centre, Zoological Survey of India (SRC, ZSI), Chennai.
