Ralph Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Which one is the official name? Which came first? Just a tiny question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenKrieger Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 If I remember correctly, S. Tartara is the old name. It's been changed to B. Lateralis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Thanks. So we should just call it Blatta lateralis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Actually, the original description is Blatta lateralis. Someone mistakenly redescribed it as a new species years later (this happens all the time which is why many species have a number of synonyms).
