Subsocial, xylophagous cockroaches of the genus Cryptocercus exhibit a disjunct distribution, with representatives in mature montane forests of North America, China, Korea and the Russian Far East. All described species are wingless and dependent on rotting wood for food and shelter at all stages of their life cycle; consequently, their distribution is tied to that of forests and strongly influenced by palaeogeographical events. Asian and American lineages form distinct monophyletic groups, comprised of populations with complex geographic substructuring. We review the phylogeny and distribution of Cryptocercus, and discuss splitting events inferred from molecular data.
隐尾蠊属的亚社会性、食木蟑螂呈现出间断分布，在北美、中国、韩国和俄罗斯远东地区的成熟山地森林中有其代表物种。所有已描述的物种均无翅，在其生命周期的各个阶段都依赖腐烂的木材获取食物和庇护所；因此，它们的分布与森林的分布相关，并受到古地理事件的强烈影响。亚洲和美洲谱系形成了不同的单系类群，由具有复杂地理亚结构的种群组成。我们回顾了隐尾蠊的系统发育和分布，并讨论了从分子数据推断出的分支事件。
