Detailed Solution

Statement I is incorrect. The spermatheca is not found in male cockroaches. Instead, it is a structure present in female cockroaches (and other insects) where sperm received during mating is stored for extended periods until eggs are fertilized.
Statement II is incorrect. An ootheca is a casing or capsule produced by the female cockroach (after fertilization) in which fertilised eggs are deposited and eventually hatch into nymphs.
