Keith Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I can't find any species on the Internet in the Blaptica family except Dubia. Are there any other roaches in that family available in the roach hovby, and can dubia hybridize with any roaches we keep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 http://blattodea.speciesfile.org/Common/basic/Taxa.aspx?TaxonNameID=69 That website is excellent for looking up roach taxonomic info. None of the species currently available will hybridize with B. dubia I suspect that the genus Byrsotria may be more closely related to them than other Blaberinids like Blaberus or Archimandrita.

Keith Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Wow Byrdotria resemble Dubia so much especially how the females are wingless and males have wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
