Matt K Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Nice photos! The top photo of the female with ootheca I don't know of yet, but the bottom two photos look to me like Epilamprinae pseudophoraspis, but is something of a guess on my part. If not then probably a similar Epilamprinae sp. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The top photo is a Blattellidae member. I've got nothing on the bottom, Matt is probably right. Google doesn't have much on exotic roaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juraij Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 Thanks Yes, could not find any info on this beauty. The female with ootheca is smaller than a centimeter if my memory serve me right.As for possible Epilamprinae pseudophoraspis, what do they eat? Here is another one, climber and non odor (at the moment): Adult Nymphs (or female), I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 This one is a REAL beauty and fine example of a roach !! I have to wonder it it would fall into the Periplaneta genus.... ??? There are a few Periplaneta species that I can't find a description on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juraij Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Sure it is, perfect combination of black and white. I have no idea whether its from Periplaneta genus or not, but size wise I think it is. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Periplaneta or another closely related genus would be my guess for the last set of pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednkhunter Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Wow! That female was beautiful! The nymphs look great as well! I hope that you find out what they are, so that I may look into them more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamai Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 1st Spec. Lobopterella dimidiatipes (Bolivar, 1890) (Blattellidae; Blattellinae) 2nd Spec. Epilamprinae (Blaberidae). I am not familiar with this group~~ but it should belong to Pseudophoraspis as the following character: Head hind under the pronotun; first segment of hind leg tarsus almost equal to the other segments joint. 3rd Spec. Homalosilpha sp. (Blattidae; Blattinae) This spec. is actually matched with a chinese spec.: Homalosilpha kryzhanovskii Bey-Bienko, 1969. Since the spec. is labeled as endemic of China, and I have not seen all spec. of this genus.. I am not certain. all nice spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juraij Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Thanks Yamai. Its hard to find less known roach pic on the net. I'll post more pic of Homalosilpha sp. when I got my PC. Busy with school and examination at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocticola Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Homalosilpha ustulata. the Epilamprinae may also be Rhabdoblatta, judging by its truncate tegmina. but most probably <i>Pseudophoraspis nebulosa</i> the nymphs may be Stictolampra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
