2B0151EFBAC55B1882E4DF3D954D6CB1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The male of this species is similar to P. (P.) aerea (Bey-Bienko, 1958), which also has fine yellow hair on the pronotum. However, it can be distinguished by its indigo-black body surface, the notched posterior lateral angles of the pronotum, and weakly bifurcate terminal part of the hook-apex sclerite. The females of this species can be easily distinguished from P. (P.) aerea by the rough dorsal surface and their pit formula, [5, 6 or 7] in P. (P.) sculpta and [1 or 2] in P. (P.) aerea.	en	Liu, Yi-Feng, Zhou, Tu-Nan, Chen, Sen, Wang, Zong-Qing (2025): Matching females with males in Chinese species of the strongly dimorphic cockroach genus Pseudoglomeris Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893 (Blattodea, Blaberidae, Perisphaerinae).

5C2E6A6D22AC5C8880ABC4866401E3FF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The male of this species is similar to P. (P.) fallax (Bey-Bienko, 1969). However, P. (P.) valida moderata can be distinguished by its wider R 5. The females can be differentiated by their pit formula, namely, [1] of P. (P.) fallax and [3] of P. (P.) valida moderata.	en	Liu, Yi-Feng, Zhou, Tu-Nan, Chen, Sen, Wang, Zong-Qing (2025): Matching females with males in Chinese species of the strongly dimorphic cockroach genus Pseudoglomeris Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893 (Blattodea, Blaberidae, Perisphaerinae).

9C9AE7C61D315D7CB978393306C8C999.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Female neotenic, slightly bulging and oval, integument thick; in male adults, hardening limited to pronotum. Pronotum with typical ventral carinae (Fig. 2 D), which end with a lobe or a process, more evident in males. Front femur type C or D. In females and nymphs, abdominal tergites possess one or more pits at sides along tergal furrow (figs 2 N, 5 – 7 M, 8 L, 9 M). Cerci of nymphs and females very short, segments fused into a single segment. Male phallic complex: sclerotizations of cleft phallomere are R 1 T’, R 2 ’, R 3 ’ and R 5 ’; virga (Fig. 2 G) well developed (except subgenus Glomerexis); basolateral sclerite large approximately as wide as hook-like phallomere (Fig. 2 G); hook-base sclerite and hook at same side (Li et al. 2018). This genus is similar to Perisphaerus Audinet-Serville, 1831, but they can be easily distinguished: the females and nymphs of Perisphaerus can roll up into a ball and which body is plump, while in Pseudoglomeris they cannot, and the pronotum of males of Perisphaerus is more convex than that of males of Pseudoglomeris. Two tropical genera of Perisphaerinae — Frumentiforma Li, Wang & Wang, 2018 and Achatiblatta Li, Wang & Wang, 2018 — live in the same habitat as the species of Pseudoglomeris. Achatiblatta can be distinguished from Pseudoglomeris by its small body size; females and nymphs do not bear pits. Frumentiforma can be distinguished from Pseudoglomeris by the small, slender, cylindrical body and large head, which is wider than ½ of body width.	en	Liu, Yi-Feng, Zhou, Tu-Nan, Chen, Sen, Wang, Zong-Qing (2025): Matching females with males in Chinese species of the strongly dimorphic cockroach genus Pseudoglomeris Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893 (Blattodea, Blaberidae, Perisphaerinae).
