Cryptocercoidae
''Cryptocercus'' is a genus of Dictyoptera (cockroaches and allies) and the sole member of its own family Cryptocercidae. Species are known as wood roaches or brown-hooded cockroaches. These roaches are subsocial, their young requiring considerable parental interaction. They also share wood-digesting gut bacteria types with wood-eating termites, and are therefore seen as evidence of a close genetic relationship, that termites are essentially evolved from social cockroaches. ''Cryptocercus'' is especially notable for sharing numerous characteristics with termites, and phylogenetic studies have shown this genus is more closely related to termites than it is to other cockroaches. These two lineages probably shared a common ancestor in the early Cretaceous. Species Found in North America and (especially temperate) Asia, there are 12 known species: * ''Cryptocercus clevelandi'' Byers, 1997 * ''Cryptocercus darwini'' Burnside, Smith, Kambhampati, 1999 * ''Cryptocercus garciai'' Burnsid ...

Cockroach Genera
Cockroaches (or roaches) are insects belonging to the Order (biology), order Blattodea (Blattaria). About 30 cockroach species out of 4,600 are associated with human habitats. Some species are well-known Pest (organism), pests. Modern cockroaches are an ancient group that first appeared during the Late Jurassic, with their ancestors, known as "Roachoid, roachoids", likely originating during the Carboniferous period around 320 million years ago. Those early ancestors, however, lacked the internal ovipositors of modern roaches. Cockroaches are somewhat generalized insects lacking special adaptations (such as the sucking Insect mouthparts, mouthparts of aphids and other Hemiptera, true bugs); they have chewing mouthparts and are probably among the most primitive of living Neopteran insects. They are common and hardy insects capable of tolerating a wide range of Köppen climate classification, climates, from Arctic cold to Tropics, tropical heat. Tropical cockroaches are often muc ...

Dictyoptera
Dictyoptera (from Greek δίκτυον ''diktyon'' "net" and πτερόν ''pteron'' "wing") is an insect superorder that includes two extant orders of polyneopterous insects: the order Blattodea (termites and cockroaches together) and the order Mantodea (mantises). All modern Dictyoptera have short ovipositors and typically lay oothecae. The oldest fossils of Dictyoptera from the Late Carboniferous, referred to as " roachoids" have long ovipositors and did not lay oothecae. The oldest modern oothecae-laying dictyopterans date to the Late Triassic. __TOC__ Classification and phylogeny The use of the term Dictyoptera has changed over the years, and while largely out of use for much of the last century, it is becoming more widely used. It has usually been considered a superorder, with Isoptera, Blattodea and Mantodea being its three orders. In some classifications, however, Dictyoptera is shifted to order status and in others the order Isoptera has been subsumed under Blattodea ...

Cryptocercus Punctulatus
''Cryptocercus punctulatus'', known generally as brown-hooded cockroach, is a species of cockroach in the family Cryptocercidae. Other common names include the woodroach, wingless wood roach, and eastern wood-eating cockroach. It is found in North America. Geographical distribution ''C. punctulatus'' are distributed within the eastern United States of America, concentrated within the Appalachian Mountains of western Virginia and Pennsylvania. They share this habitat with three other closely related congeneric species, '' C. darwini'', ''C.'' ''garciai'', and '' C. wrighti,'' although no sympatry has been documented among the species. They inhabit temperate forests within the Appalachian Mountain Range and Allegheny Mountains in either deciduous forests or forests mixed with both deciduous and coniferous trees. They are predominantly found in elevations greater than 400 meters above sea level. ''C. punctulatus'' can be found in western Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvan ...

Grigory Bey-Bienko
Grigory Yakovlevich Bey-Bienko (; 7 February 1903 – 3 November 1971) was a Soviet and Russian entomologist who specialized in Orthoptera. Life and education Bey-Bienko was born in Bilopillia. During his childhood, he regularly accompanied his father on trips in Siberia, and it was during these that he developed his interest in insects. He graduated from the Omsk Institute of Agriculture, having made a list of local acridoidea while still a student. During the Second World War, he took part in the Siege of Leningrad, before being evacuated to Perm. Career Bey-Bienko moved to Leningrad in 1927, and there worked in the USSR Institute for Plants Protection (Vsesoyuznij Institut Zaschity Rastenij, 1929–1938), Leningrad Agricultural Institute (1938–1968) and Institute for Zoology of the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union (starting in 1948). During this time, he produced many works on the ecology and entomology of groups as diverse as the Tettigoniidae and Dermaptera nat ...
