An updated checklist of Cockroaches (Blattodea) of 181 species belonging to 72 genera under 17 subfamilies and 6 families, including 89 endemic species from India have been provided. The study on the diversity of cockroaches globally shows that many species are yet to be discovered, since only 3.8% of the global species are known to India. The states with high number of records are Tamil Nadu (55 spp.), West Bengal (37 spp.), Arunachal Pradesh (25 spp.), Meghalaya Sikkim (24 spp.) respectively. The dominant families are Blaberidae (83 spp.), Ectobiidae (53 spp.), Blattidae (24 spp.), Corydiidae (17 spp.), Nocticolidae (3 spp.) and Tryonicidae (1 spp.). The state-wise distribution records along with references, synonyms have also been incorporated.
