Grylloblatta is a genus of insects in the family Grylloblattidae. It contains 15 species, including Grylloblatta chirurgica, almost exclusively from high-altitude and high-latitude regions of the United States and Canada, living in ice caves and glaciers. [1]
The genus was first described by Edmund Walker in 1914, based on a single species, Grylloblatta campodeiformis. [2]
These 15 species belong to the genus Grylloblatta:
Data sources: i = ITIS, [3] c = Catalogue of Life, [4] g = GBIF, [5] b = Bugguide.net [6]
Based on genetic studies and other evidence, Schoville (2013) identifies the following as potential new species. [7]
Individuals have lifespans of between 6 and 10 years. [8]
