See article text Planuncus is a genus of cockroaches native to Old World (especially Europe) described by Bohn in 2013 and belonging to the family Ectobiidae, subfamily Ectobiinae.

The defining characters are mainly in the male genitalia and subgenital plate, so externally the species of the genus are not clearly separable by a common denominator from the remaining species still in the genera Ectobius or Phyllodromica.

Formal classification of the species in this group awaits further research and some or all may or may not prove to be synonymous in the near future.

For the time being the species group (or subgenus for that matter) might also be addressed as Planuncus tingitanus s.l.. All species in the subgenus had previously been classified in the genus Ectobius: This is basically the baetica-group of the genus Phyllodromica as had been previously formalized by Bohn (1992), but now classified under Planuncus to better reflect the affinities to other species.

All species in this subgenus had previously been classified in the genus Phyllodromica: This, at its inception, monotypic subgenus accommodates the single species previously known as Ectobius nicaeensis:
