A global molecular phylogeny and timescale of evolution for Cryptocercus woodroaches

The divergence of American and Asian Cryptocercus was estimated to have occurred 55.09 Ma, and the radiations of American and Asian taxa 28.48 Ma and 20.97 Ma respectively. Reconstruction of ancestral geographic distributions using S-DIVA suggested Cryptocercus was originally distributed across both continents. The last common ancestral of Asian Cryptocercus was inferred to have existed in Central China.154
