Summary
Manipulator is an extinct cockroach genus including species which lived from the Late Jurassic to the Late Cretaceous. The type species is Manipulator modificaputis, described on the basis of the holotype specimen which is fossilized in a 100-million-year-old piece of Burmese amber, found in a quarry of volcanoclastic mudstone at Noije Bum in the Hukawng Valley in Myanmar.
