NOMINA INSECTA NEARCTICA 33 CLASSIFICATION Primary data entry for the Blattodea is based on the series of fascicles of Orthopterorum Catalogus compiled by K. Princis between the years 1961 and 1971. The fascicle numbers are 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, and 14. The higher classification of the order is based on two important studies: McKittrick, F.A. 1964. Evolutionary Studies of Cockroaches. Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station Memoir no. 189. 197 pp., and Roth, L.M. 1970 Evolution and taxonomic significance of reproduction in Blattaria.
