Keith Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Can aeluropoda insignis (flat horn Hisser) hybridize with any of these 3 species? I need to know. p. vanwaerebecki (tiger Hisser) g. portentosa g. oblongonata (wide horn Hisser) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Considering that they are classified under different genera, it's unlikely. G. portentosa and G. oblongonata surely can, if that's of any significance to your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 I need to know for certain to prevent accidental hybridization. I am already aware the other 3 readily hybridize with eachother, my question is can any of them hybridize with flat horn Hisser. I am hoping others had them in mixed colonies that's the only way we would know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff_Trioxin Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 P. Vanwaerebecki is not a tiger hisser it is a vibrant hisser. The true tiger hisser is Gromphadorhina Grandidieri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcbpolish Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I also have a hybridization question: I recently received B. giganteus and will be receiving B. discoidalis (not a proven line, so might be hybrids themselves) soon. Any risk of these guys hybridizing if I mix up any nymphs? I am just wondering how careful/vigilant I need to be with them to prevent unwanted hybrids.

Keith Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Although males of other species have tried to mate with female flat horn no offspring result so they can't hybridize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
