摘      要：Dear Editor, Woodroaches in the genus Cryptocercus are subsocial cockroaches that utilize decaying logs for both shelter and as a food source （Nalepa, 1984）. Based on molecular phylogenetic studies of multiple independent data （e.g., Lo et al., 2000; Inward et al., 2007）, Cryptocercus and termites are shown to have a sister group relationship within the cockroach clade. The 2 groups also share mul- tiple traits related to ecology, social structure, symbionts, and digestive physiology. Consequently, to discuss euso- cial e-~olution in termites, Cryptocercus would serve as an important group for a ＂model-taxon by homology＂ （Klass et al., 2008）.
