Considérations générales sur l'ordre naturel des animaux composant les classes des crustacés, des arachnides, et des insectes; avec un tableau méthodique de leurs genres, disposés en familles. 244 >> Note: Latreille (1810) classified the cockroaches and termites as a family (Blattariae) of the order Orthoptera.
