Abstract
A new ectobiid cockroach, Tagaloblatta kasaysayan gen. et sp. nov. from Mt. Makiling, Los Baños, Laguna is described. The new genus externally resembles the Neotropical genera Isoldaia Gurney & Roth 1966 and Agmoblatta Gurney & Roth 1966 but genital morphology shows possible close relation with with Sundablatta Hebard 1929, Pseudophyllodromia Brunner 1865, and Allacta Saussure & Zehntner 1895. The genus can be distinguished from the other genera by the minute, non-overlapping tegmina, absence of hind wings and specialized abdominal glands, simple, posteriorly symmetrical subgenital plate and similarly-sized style.
