“…Later, cockroach systematists identified several morphological synapomorphies supporting the monophyly of Blaberidae (Grandcolas 1996;Klass & Meier 2006; brood sac underneath the female genitalia, sclerite R3v small, first vein of vannus with many basal rami, tracheation very dense and tracheae vesicle-shaped, presence of a muscle connecting sclerite L2 and pouch lve). Monophyly has also repeatedly been found with molecular data as well (Maekawa et al 2003;Inward 2007;Pellens et al 2007;Djernaes et al 2012;Legendre et al 2014Legendre et al , 2015.…”

“…1), one Corydiidae (Therea petiveriana Linnaeus, 1758) and one Blattidae (Blatta orientalis Linnaeus, 1758) as the rooting outgroup taxon. Among Ectobiidae, all subfamilies have been postulated as being the sister group of Blaberidae, including Pseudophyllodromiinae (Grandcolas 1996;Inward et al 2007;Pellens et al 2007;Djernaes et al 2012;Legendre et al 2015). At first, we included several species of Pseudophyllodromiinae (Anisopygia sp., Asemoblattana sp., Euphyllodromia sp., Latiblattella sp.…”

“…Blaberid cockroaches comprise model species in research about biomimetics (e.g., Nelson et al 1997), physiology (Li 2007), sociality (Costa 2006;Pellens et al 2007) or reproductive behavior (Roth &Willis 1954;Banerjee et al 2016). These fields of research would benefit from a clear phylogenetic hypothesis or a phylogeny-derived robust classification.…”

D N A L i b r a r y o f L i f e , r e s e a r c h a r t i c l eurn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:59ADAF1D-4704-49A2-9467-ADE8813F75FA Abstract. In the present "tree-thinking" period, relying on accurate phylogenetic hypotheses is of paramount importance for biologists interested in an evolutionary perspective. In the Blaberidae cockroaches, a well-defined monophyletic family comprising several model species, no such phylogenetic tree is available despite several earlier contributions. Here, using six molecular markers (12S, 16S, 18S, 28S, COI and COII), we investigate the relationships of Blaberidae and compare our results with the traditional morphology-based classification. This resulted in a broad spectrum of situations, from congruent and well-supported hypotheses (e.g., the monophyly of Blaberidae, Oxyhaloinae and (Geoscapheiinae + Panesthiinae)) to incongruent and weakly supported results (e.g., polyphyly of Perisphaerinae). We emphasize that interesting and contrasted situations lie between the two extremities of this spectrum, especially concerning the genera Thanatophyllum Grandcolas, 1991, Phoetalia Stål, 1874, Laxta Walker, 1868 and Pronauphoeta Shelford, 1909. We also discuss the phylogenetic position of two incertae sedis genera (Eustegasta Gerstaecker, 1883 and Gynopeltis Gerstaecker, 1869). We conclude that in-depth signal analyses should be performed to better understand molecular evolution and its consequence on tree reconstruction for this group. As for phylogenetic relationships per se, new markers should be searched for, especially to decipher deeper relationships in Blaberidae.

“…Thus, these results strongly support the paraphyly of Blattodea in relation to termites, as suggested in other studies (e.g. Lo et al 2000;Pellens et al 2007;Legendre et al 2008;Cameron et al 2012;Djernaes et al 2012Djernaes et al , 2015. The current phylogenetic tree supports the sister relation of Blattidae and Blattellidae, with the clade Cryptocercidae + Isoptera as a sister group.…”

The complete mitogenome of the subsocial wood-eating cockroach Cryptocercus kyebangensis was sequenced and compared with that of another Asian cockroach, Cryptocercus relictus and the primitive termite Mastotermes darwiniensis. The complete mitogenome of C. kyebangensis is a closed circular molecule of 15,720 bp, containing13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), 22 transfer RNA genes, and one D-loop region. Nucleotide composition of the C. kyebangensis mitogenome shows an AT bias (74.4%), in particular, 46.0% A, 28.4% T, 9.7% G, and 15.9% C. GC skews are similar among the mitogenomes of C. kyebangensis, C. relictus, and M. darwiniensis, but AT skew is stronger in Cryptocercus mitogenomes than in the M. darwiniensis mitogenome. The whole mitogenome of C. kyebangensis showed 88.8% nucleotide similarity to that of C. relictus but only 74.9% similarity to that of M. darwiniensis. Phylogenetic analyses, based on amino acid sequences of the 13 mitochondrial proteins, showed that the Cryptocercus clade has a sister relation with termites, including the primitive termite M. darwiniensis. Sister relations of Blattidae and Blattellidae, with the clade Cryptocercidae + Isoptera as a sister group, are also evident. Polyphagidae (Eupolyphaga sinensis) appears to be most basal in the phylogenetic trees, showing sister relations with the remaining cockroaches.

Despite multiple studies and advances, sociality still puzzles evolutionary biologists in numerous ways, which might be partly addressed with the advent of sociogenomics. In insects, the majority of sociogenomic studies deal with Hymenoptera, one of the two groups that evolved eusociality with termites. But, to fully grasp the evolution of sociality, studies must obviously not restrict to eusocial lineages. Multiple kinds of social system transitions have been recorded and they all bring complementary insights. For instance, cockroaches, the closest relatives to termites, display a wide range of social interactions and evolved convergently subsocial behaviors (i.e., brood care). In this context, we emphasize the need for natural history, taxonomic, and phylogenetic studies. Natural history studies provide the foundations on which building hypotheses, whereas taxonomy provides the taxa to sample to test these hypotheses, and phylogenetics brings the historical framework necessary to test evolutionary scenarios of sociality evolution.
