Cockroach Species File

The Cockroach Species File is an up-to-date taxonomic catalogue of the world's cockroaches, excluding fossil species. Cockroaches belong to the order Blattodea (sometimes known as Blattaria) as too do the termites. In the past termites were thought to be a separate order, Isoptera, but recent work confirms that they are in fact blattodeans. The CSF includes c. 6,700 scientific names (all ranks, valid and not valid) and c. 4,600 valid species are recognised. Images of museum specimens (especially types), plus pictures of living cockroaches are slowly being added.

《蟑螂物种文件（Cockroach Species File，CSF）》是一份覆盖全球蟑螂（不含化石物种）的最新分类学名录。蟑螂与白蚁同属于蜚蠊目（Blattodea，亦称Blattaria）；过往研究曾将白蚁视为独立的等翅目（Isoptera），但最新研究证实其实则隶属于蜚蠊目。该名录共收录约6700个各级分类阶元的科学名称（包含有效与无效名称），并确认了约4600个有效物种。目前，博物馆标本（尤其是模式标本）及活体蟑螂的影像资料正在逐步增补收录。
