Ectobius is a genus of non-cosmopolitan cockroaches once thought native to the Old World and described by Stephens in 1835,[1] belonging to the family Ectobiidae, subfamily Ectobiinae.[2] The discovery[3] of 4 ectobius cockroaches in Colorado dating to 49 million years ago suggests the genus actually originated in North America. This genus has been subject to a number of revisions.[4][5]
