Compsodes is a genus of hooded cockroaches in the family Corydiidae. There are at least four described species in Compsodes.[1][2]

Species

These four species belong to the genus Compsodes:

  • Compsodes cucullatus (Saussure & Zehntner, 1894) - hooded cockroach (Central and North America)
  • Compsodes delicatulus (Saussure & Zehntner, 1894) (Guatemala)
  • Compsodes perezgelaberti Gutiérrez, 2012 (Dominican Republic)
  • Compsodes schwarzi (Caudell, 1903) - Schwarz's hooded cockroach (Central and North America)

Research published in 2022 has placed the species Latindia mexicanus in Compsodes, although this is not yet widely accepted.[3]
