Twelve pieces of amber containing the remains of cockroaches are used to form the basis of this paper. Gutierrezina vrsanskyi n. gen., n. sp., is described. Supella miocenica Cifuentes-Ruiz, Vidlička, Čiampor and Vega, 2011 is moved to the new genus Gutierrezina. Three new species are described for the genus Cariblatta Hebard, 1916: C. simojovelensis n. sp.; C. amfivola n. sp.; and C. uchbena n. sp. In addition, new information from Anaplecta vega Barna et al. 2019 and Latiblattella sp. is provided.
