Abstract
In this paper, genetic evidence for local co-occurrence (syntopy) between members of two chromosomal races within the Cryptocercus punctulatus species complex from the Southern Appalachian Mountains is presented. This phenomenon has not previously been detected, despite extensive sampling and numerous molecular studies of this the sub-social wood-roach spanning the past 20 years. The incidence of syntopy seems rare; it was detected in one of 70 rotting logs sampled across eight states in the southern United States. However, the location where it occurs could become a key focus of research aimed at resolving taxonomic uncertainty in this group.
