蜚蠊科 
 
 
 
 
 
 
1 蜚蠊科（BlATTINAE=PERIPLANETINAE)。 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
性状特征。――触角有刚毛（setaceous），多长于身体，极少羽状（plumose）或增厚（incrassated）。头顶外露。眼肾形（reniform）。Ocellliform spots多出现。前翅和后翅发达，退化，原始，或消失。翅半革质（semicoriaceous）。the costal veins of the wings irregular and much branched，ulnar vein of the wings multiramose, the branches irregular and bifurcated. 雌性下生殖板呈突起相对的瓣状（apposed valves）。尾须形状各异，但多数扁平尖锐。股节下端具刺。附节变化较大。卵鞘几丁质，具脊。非胎生。
 
 
 
 
 
 
此亚科种类较好辨认。雌性下生殖板的瓣状结构以及雄性下生殖板的对称性和末端的尾刺是常用的鉴别特征。我至今未见过介于大蠊科和其他亚科的中间类型。我不同意Bolivar 把洞穴栖的种类/Nocticola/和/Spelaeoblatta/ 归于/Nocticolinae/亚科，在我看来，雌性下生殖板的特征是最重要的，远在穴栖特征之上。雌雄二型是蜚蠊亚科（Blattinae）的显著特征，同时也造成了分类上的混乱。 毫无疑问，随着资料的增多，我们对蜚蠊了解的深入，归入/Deropeltis/ 和 /Pseudoderopeltis/这两个属的种类会减少。由于以前的研究者只根据雌性的征/Pseudoderopeltis/的一些种类被放到了/Stylopyga/，造成了混乱。我把/Stylopyga/从/Blatta/（蜚蠊属）分离出来。原因很简单，前者雌雄相似，后者雌雄异形。但是我对蜚蠊属（/Baltta/）的现状仍很不满意，鉴于目前某些种类资料匮乏，我还把一些种类分离出来不能做进一步的厘定。但是，我相信总会有那么一天。
