Issue Date

10-2016

Abstract

The order Blattodeais is one of the understudied insect groups in the Philippines in terms of biodiversity. The merging study of cave ecology in the country has provided a great opportunity to the study of the group in such environments. Cockroaches collected during explorations in several limestone caves in the Polillo Island, Quezon Province [Philippines], mainly from the municipality of Burdeos are listed. A new species of Nocticola (Nocticolidae) is described. Periplaneta banski Hanitsch (Blattidae) is reviewed. Adaptations of some species for cave environments are discussed.
