Libor Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 These cockroaches inhabits one greenhouse in Slovakia. Country of origin is maybe Nicaragua. Length up to 11 mm. I think it shoud be any Cariblatta. I would highly appreciate exact ID! Thanks Libor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Ectobius maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 The pronotum speckles look more like Cariblatta to me, but I am hard-pressed to find information about Central American species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libor Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 And has anybody contact to any person to ask directly for IDing and/or for photos of various Cariblatta species from a collection? The color pattern on the pronotum (I will have more secimens in my hands the next week) are absolutely constant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Maybe you could contact George Beccaloni of the Blattodea Species File? I really don't know what to do otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libor Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Thanks, RaZias. Capraiellus panzeri looks very similar. Golden Roach is Cariblatta lutea? Which picture you need for exact identification? Libor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaZias Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Thanks, RaZias. Capraiellus panzeri looks very similar. Golden Roach is Cariblatta lutea? Which picture you need for exact identification? Libor Sorry but I am not an insect specialist to identify them. The third image seems similiar to the Capraiellus panzeri because I compared it with the image on the following link: http://www.roachforum.com/index.php?showtopic=4306 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libor Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 So, after long silence... These beast were identified as Cariblatta imitans! I found this species is native to Panama and Costa Rica. I would highly appreciate any papers with the data to this species. I suppose it is the first world introduction of the species outside its native range? Thanks to all for all kinds of help Libor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
