Eublaberus is a genus of cockroaches closely related to Blaberus. Among the differences are proportionately somewhat shorter, stouter limbs, a broad blackish bar on the caudal margin (rear) of the pronotum, and angulation on the lateral margins (sides) of the pronotum.[2]
The genus contains the following species:[1]
- Eublaberus argentinus Hebard 1921
- Eublaberus distanti (Kirby, W. F. 1903): The six spotted cockroach or Trinidad bat cave cockroach
- Eublaberus fernandoi Lopes & de Oliveira 2000
- Eublaberus immaculus (Saussure & Zehntner 1894)
- Eublaberus marajoara Rocha e Silva 1972
- Eublaberus posticus (Erichson, 1848): The orange-headed cockroach
- Eublaberus sulzeri (Guérin-Méneville 1857)
- Eublaberus variegata Rocha e Silva 1972
E. distanti and E. posticus are primarily cave-dwelling cockroaches of Central and South America.
