Notes:

1) Possible misidentification by Suomalainen (see Cohen & Roth 1970).

2) Material identification corrected in Roth 1979.

3) One rare male observed in species with thelytokous parthenogenesis

4) Two rare males observed in species with thelytokous parthenogenesis

5) Material idetntification made by Roth 1973.

6) Material idetntification made by Roth 1985.

7) S. capitata (Saussure) synonimized with S. pallens in Roth 1982.

8) S. fusca is not valid name according to Cockroach Species Files.
