Abstract

The Blattulidae Vishniakova, 1982 is an extinct family of cockroaches which was widely distributed around the world from Late Triassic to Late Cretaceous. Huablattula vrsanskyi sp. n., based on a well-preserved specimen from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber differs from other species of genus Huablattula Qiu et al., 2019 in having different patterns on the pronotum, forewing with vein A bifurcated and hind wing without pterostigma. The new discovery enriched the diversity of the family Blattulidae in Kachin amber and expanded our understanding of cockroach structure and phylogeny. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
