EffeCi Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Eurycotis opaca They look very similar to Drymaplaneta semivitta, but really bigger... Hemiblabera sp. I had them from a friend of mine, that bought them from Jörg Bernhardt www.schaben-spinnen.de Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Áron Horvath Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Very beautifuf! Every eurycotis beautifof but pest I have some opaca... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricktop Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Those Eurycotis look alot like Eurycotis floridana.. save the markings on the side. Are these often confused as the allpet site showed those under the floridana section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 The adults with the side margins that were depicted on the Allpet Roaches site were simply a colorform of E. floridana collected from a pier in the Florida Keys, not a different Eurycotis species.

Lucihormetica Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 The Eurycotis slides are showing E. opaca. These was collected by myself during several trips in Cuba. Several local colour forms are distributed yet into Europe. Eurycotis spp. are determinet after the angels and other lobes on the abdomenend and of course on the genitals, also on glands. Defently not by pictures - as several person like to do that! by the way, all Cuban species was determined by E. Gutierrez (a specialist on Eurycotis species, if anybody involved into the material) and me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a related note, aren't E. opaca pretty tiny compared to E. floridana? Many species really can't be identified by photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeriplanetaAmericana Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hi! I love E. opaca, I have them and they are very beautiful, like yours. EffeCi, I´ll probably ask Joerg for many roaches in February more or less. Best regards, Javier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
