| Abstract: | The jumping cockroach Skok svaba gen. et sp. n., characteristic of modern reproduction, is described from the Upper Jurassic Karabastau Formation in Kazakhstan,
and attributed to a new family Skokidae. The finding demonstrates the immense plasticity of stem cockroaches from which eusocial
termites and predatory mantises evolved. |
