Blaberus
Blaberus is a genus of cockroaches native to the Neotropics found in the Americas. At least 31 valid species are in the genus, as well as at least 39 invalid species, and some of them are popular among hobbyists as pets or as feed for other arthropods (Blaberus discoidalis in particular serves this function). Unlike several genera of cockroaches considered to be pests, this genus keeps its ootheca in its abdomen until the time it hatches. They generally require a relative humidity of 60% or higher to thrive and temperatures above 25 °C (28-30 °C is best) to reproduce.
Diploptera
Diploptera, occasionally called beetle cockroaches, is a genus of blaberid cockroaches in the monotypic subfamily Diplopterinae. Cockroaches of this genus resemble beetles, with hardened tegmina and cross-folded hindwings. They live in tropical forests in South China and Southeast Asia, and Pacific islands including Hawaii. They are viviparous cockroaches and are therefore used for insect endocrinological studies.
Loboptera
Loboptera is a genus of mostly Palaearctic cockroaches erected by Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1865; it appears to be currently placed in the subfamily Blattellinae. The recorded distribution (probably incomplete) for species includes: mainland Europe (not the British Isles or Scandinavia), North Africa, Cameroun, the Middle East through to central Asia.
Phyllodromica
Phyllodromica is a genus of mostly Palaearctic cockroaches in the subfamily Ectobiinae, erected by Franz Xaver Fieber in 1853. The recorded distribution (probably incomplete) for species includes: mainland Europe (cosmopolitan in the British Isles, Iceland and Scandinavia), North Africa, the Middle East through to central Asia.
Pycnoscelus
Pycnoscelus is a genus of cockroaches in the family Blaberidae. Species in the genus Pycnoscelus are recorded from India, China and SE Asia.

Hemelytroblatta
Hemelytroblatta is a genus of mostly Palaearctic cockroaches, in the subfamily Corydiinae, erected by Lucien Chopard in 1929. Species are distributed mostly in: North Africa, eastern Mediterranean countries through to central Asia; the type species, Hemelytroblatta cypria is found only on Cyprus.
Anaplecta
Anaplecta is a genus in the family Anaplectidae. There are at least 20 described species in Anaplecta.
Salganea
Salganea is a genus of South East Asian cockroaches in the subfamily Panesthiinae, erected by Carl Stål in 1877.
Maoriblatta
Maoriblatta is a genus of cockroaches belonging to the family Blattidae.
