Name

Symploce Hebard, 1916 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

• Symploce Hebard, 1916: 355; Roth 1984a: 26.

==

Blatta capitata Saussure, 1862.

Diagnosis

Tegmina and wings fully developed or more or less reduced. Radius vein of hind wing unbranched or branched near the middle; cubitus vein straight to distinctly curved with 1-6 complete and 0-6 incomplete branches; apical triangle absent or present, small or large. Specialization on the male abdominal tergum varies considerably in position and shape or is completely unmodified. Supra-anal plate symmetrical, rarely asymmetrical. Subgenital plate weakly to strongly asymmetrical, rarely symmetrical, with various highly specialized styli. Anteroventral margin of front femur usually Type A3, rarely Type B3 or between Type A and B. Tarsal claws symmetrical, unspecialized.

Note

It is proposed that Symploce quadrispinis Feng & Woo, Symploce stellatus Feng & Woo, 1999 and Symploce wulingensis Feng & Woo should be transferred to Episymploce. Plus one known species, Symploce jianfengensis Feng, 2002, which was not recorded in the catalogue by Beccaloni (2007), also should be transferred to Episymploce (Wang at al. in press).

Distribution

Oriental, Australian, African and Palaearctic Regions.
