Genus Lucihormetica Zompro & Fritzsche, 1999 View in CoL

Diagnosis. The genus Lucihormetica includes twelve species of robust cockroaches that were separated from the genus Hormetica based on the presence of two very conspicuous protuberant yellow spots on pronotal disc. The name refers to bioluminescence of these yellow spots, but their luminosity is controversial till now ( Vršanský et al. 2012, Vršanský & Chorvát 2013, Greven & Zwanzig 2013, Merritt 2013).

Distribution: Amazonian rain forest—Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 ).
