摘要
Macroscopic fossils of terrestrial animals originating directly from deposits close to the Permian/Triassic boundary are very scarce. Volcanic ash sediments in Eastern Siberia were found to hold the cockroach Sobytie tungusicum gen. et sp. n. This new taxon belongs to the predominantly Palaeozoic family Phyloblattidae, but has many advanced features characteristic of the Mesozoic family Caloblattinidae, and also of the basal Liberiblattinidae. These connections provide an indication of the origin of the family Liberiblattinidae and thus all the Mesozoic cockroach lineages from such Phyloblattidae - precursors of the Caloblattinidae.
