Morphological identification.

The specimen agrees with the description of the synonym Anaplecta insignis of Hebard (1926). Other specimens were identified by comparison with specimen DECBA1843.

Genetic information and evolutionary placement. The COI barcodes of this specimen (previously reported as " Blattodea sp. 18") falls sister to another specimen identified as Anaplecta sp. (previously reported as " Ectobiidae sp. 04"; Voucher number: DEDSM0111; GenBank accession number: KF155041) but with 25% bootstrap support. This other species is not reported in this paper due to an uncertainty in specific identification.
