Subgenera
From the start, three subgenera are defined to further group the species within the genus ''Planuncus'', containing the species listed below (types are listed in bold):Subgenus ''Planuncus''
This subgenus comprises the species that might previously have been addressed as the ''tingitanus''-group of the genus ''Ectobius'', including the recently described ''Ectobius vinzi''. Formal classification of the species in this group awaits further research and some or all may or may not prove to be synonymous in the near future. For the time being the species group (or subgenus for that matter) might also be addressed as '' Planuncus tingitanus s.l.''. All species in the subgenus had previously been classified in the genus ''Ectobius'': * ''Planuncus (Planuncus) tingitanus'' (Bolivar, 1914) (org. ''Ectobius perspicillaris tingitanus'') * ''Planuncus (Planuncus) finoti'' (Chopard, 1943) (org. ''Ectobius finoti'') * ''Planuncus (Planuncus) vinzi'' (Maurel, 2012) (org. ''Ectobius vinzi'')Subgenus ''Margundatus''
This is basically the ''baetica''-group of the genus ''Phyllodromica'' as had been previously formalized by Bohn (1992), but now classified under ''Planuncus'' to better reflect the affinities to other species. All species in this subgenus had previously been classified in the genus ''Phyllodromica'': * ''Planuncus (Margundatus) baeticus'' (Bolivar, 1884) (org. ''Aphlebia baetica'') * ''Planuncus (Margundatus) agenjoi'' (Harz, 1971) (org. ''Phyllodromica agenjoi'') * ''Planuncus (Margundatus) erythrurus'' (Bohn, 1992) (org. ''Phyllodromica erythrura'') * ''Planuncus (Margundatus) intermedius'' (Bohn, 1992) (org. ''Phyllodromica intermedia'') * ''Planuncus (Margundatus) krausei'' (Bohn, 1992) (org. ''Phyllodromica krausei'') * ''Planuncus (Margundatus) maculosus'' (Bohn, 1992) (org. ''Phyllodromica maculosa'') * ''Planuncus (Margundatus) paludicolus'' (Bohn, 1992) (org. ''Phyllodromica paludicola'') * ''Planuncus (Margundatus) princisi'' (Fernandes, 1962) (org. ''Phyllodromica princisi'') * ''Planuncus (Margundatus) striolatus'' (Bohn, 1992) (org. ''Phyllodromica striolata'')Subgenus ''Margintorus''
This, at its inception, monotypic subgenus accommodates the single species previously known as ''Ectobius nicaeensis'': * ''Planuncus (Margintorus) nicaeensis'' (Brisout de Barneville, 1852) (org. ''Blatta nicaeensis'')References
