Japanese Blattaria were studied by T. Shiraki, H. Karny, H. Furukawa, T. Ishihara and others. In 1931, Dr, Shiraki enumerated sixty-eight species of them from the Japanese territory including Formosa, Ryukyu, and the Bonin Islands, but our knowledge in regard to their taxonomy, distribution, lifehistory and problems relative to human welfare seems still to be very insufficient.
In this tentative check-list there are arranged all the recorded species from the post-war limit of Japan including the Ryukyu and the Ogasawara (Bonin) Islands, together with the citation of their distributional records.
