Peter Clausen Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Interesting little flanges on the sides of the female. I like the shape of that squat one. It's like a toad. Dark...nice photos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbrush Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 They're very small, right? Would be even better if they're bigger though. Beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recluse Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Kyle, just wondering where you are getting these new and interesting species. Those are very nice by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 They look like the old black velvet roaches D. eurythrocephala but those were bigger than E. floridana. Are yours as small or smaller than D. paulinoi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 They're very small, right? Would be even better if they're bigger though. Beautiful! These guys are actually pretty hefty; a little bigger than D. paulinoi and I'm expecting the female to get huge as she fills out with fat and eggs. Kyle, just wondering where you are getting these new and interesting species. Those are very nice by the way. I got these guys from DoubleDs. They look like the old black velvet roaches D. eurythrocephala but those were bigger than E. floridana. Are yours as small or smaller than D. paulinoi? These are a little bigger than D. paulinoi. I don't think these are D. eurythrocephala; the nymphs have orange heads and orange legs, where as the D. eurythrocephala have red heads throughout their lives (I think?).

Matt K Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I had only known D. eurythrocephala to be all jet black as an adult and about the same size as the ornate velvets (D.paulinoi).... but that was a long while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 If this photo is accurate, then I think it shows adult D. eryhtrocephala, which appear to have red heads. (It would make sense; ery = red, cephala = head.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 deropeltis is just a great genus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
