Ipolatta

Ipolatta paradoxa is a species of cockroach in the subfamily Latindiinae of the family Corydiidae. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Ipolatta, and has been recorded from Myanmar and India.

Taxonomy and systematics

The species was described by Heinrich [Hugo Karny|Karny] in 1914. It is characterized by a strongly transverse head, a discoid and large pronotum, horny and veinless tegmina that exceed the abdomen, and shortened wings. The supra-anal plate is transverse, and the female subgenital plate is deeply split. The head shape resembles that of related genera such as Latindia, Sinolatindia, and Gapudipentax. This species is so far known only from the original description, and its identity requires further confirmation.
