FEB017E3866B546BAD90DB3D801BE14C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The fourth abdominal tergum specialized tergal gland places the new species into the uenoi - species group. It closely resembles Nocticola currani Trotter, McRae, Main & Finston, 2017 in terms of the well-developed tegmina and fourth abdominal tergum specialized. It differs from N. currani as follows: 1) wings curved, longer than tegmina and extending beyond the end of abdomen, while in N. currani wings reduced, not extending beyond the first abdomen; 2) ventral of L 3 hook with ~ 10 strong setae scattered, while in N. currani with 11 long and strong setae clustered on distal end below the curve of L 3 hook; and 3) accessory hook-like phallomere (L 4 N) inner margin curved and smooth at distal end, whereas L 4 N is spear-shaped, with longitudinal ribbing of distal end in N. currani. In addition, the tegmina of this species are distinctly longer than the end of the abdomen, with a small appendicular field, while the tegmina of N. australiensis Roth, 1988, N. uenoi kikaiensis Asahina, 1974, N. uenoi miyakoensis Asahina, 1974, N. uenoi uenoi Asahina, 1974 and N. rohini (Fernando, 1962) are shorter than the end of the abdomen, and without appendicular field.	en	Li, Ting-Ting, Liu, De-Xing, Chen, Jian, Wei, Xiao-Ya, Yue, Qiao-Yun, Qiu, De-yi (2025): Three new species of the cockroach genus Nocticola Bolívar, 1892 (Blattodea, Corydioidea, Nocticolidae) from China.
