On June 24,1962,Dr. Goiti Nakata captured an unfamiliar male cockroach in his home in the midst of Kyoto City. Subsequent inquiry yielded one broken male specimen without any locality indication being preserved in the National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, and a female specimen taken in 1943 at Fukuoka by the late Prof. Teiso Esaki and preserved in Kyushu University. Additional specimens discovered from the fleld were : 3 broken males from Awashima Island in the Japan Sea taken by Mr. H. Higuma; one fine female from Ogi, Ishikawa Prefecture, taken by Dr. H. Sasaji; one female taken at Ajinomoto Manufacturing Factory, in Kawasaki near Tokyo. However, a series of living material was fortunately found at the Zoological Garden in Okazaki Park, Kyoto. Last year two female specimens were sent from Dr. Y. H. Sin taken at Mt. Keryongsan, Chungcheongnam-Do, Republic of Korea, for identification. This cockroach is an entirely unknown insect from Japan and its generic affinity was here finally attributed to a North American genus Parcoblatta, a genus never known from East Asia. Through an exchange of opinion with Dr. A. B. Gurney, U. S. National Museum, I am now naming this cockroach as belonging to this particular genus. My thanks are due to Dr. Gurney for his very helpful suggestion.
