Cariblatta lutea Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Interesting strain I found at my friend's house in Calera, AL. A single adult female carrying an ootheca was collected, and I managed to get offsprings from her. Seems that the population of uhleriana in AL tend to be much smaller than uhleriana from other parts of the US, and resemble Parcoblatta fulvescens as nymphs. Makes me wonder if I should describe this strain as a new subspecies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Very interesting! Perhaps it should be a subspecies, I'm sure you'll be the one in charge of that decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hopefully the molecular analysis will reveal a clue Cool, let us know how it goes! I can see it now, "Parcoblatta uhleriana alani". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could name it after me.....lol (apparently unethical in scientific community) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bufo Bill Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Lovely little things, some of these Parcoblatta species have fabulous orangey reds I am noticing. Anymore thoughts on taxonomy for these guys? All the best from Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the red ones have striking patterns I'm starting to believe that this one might be named as a new species but I won't know for sure till I hear back from the lab about the molecular analysis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
