Allpet Roaches Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I decided these would make a good Allpet Roaches' Roach for this IM issue and checked some of my literature (probably all available on the internet not just in abstract) and realized I'm pretty sure what species it is (of course it is not a Pycnoscelus). Yes, I am going to leave you hanging for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Cool! It's very satisfying to identify something by yourself isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 i'm mostly surprised nobody noticed what they were since it took me about five minutes and the hardcopy papers I have from Roth are easy to find online but the stock has been around seven years or so. Satisfaction would be if they were something new or nearly impossible to identify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Now how bout African bullets lol. Identify those along with Panchlora species giant and I'll be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanBuck Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Lol. Believe in yourself! I would love to identify new species but I don't have the tools to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blatta70 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 It is believed that African Bullets are Neostylopyga propinqua and Giant Greens are Panchlora exoleta. I too believe to know what the Little Kenyans are but won't ruin the fun for Orin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 There are lots of things that people believe species are but we won't know until it's confirmed by an expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Who would think that for the bullets and why? I sent the giant Panchlora specimens to Roth when he was alive and he said without a location that particular stock would be impossible to identify to species. I wish he was still around.

RomanBuck Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 That's unfortunate... I guess having some unidentifiable species is cool. Adds a little suspense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Kyle also seems to think the bullets are Neostylopyga propinqua. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Rousseaux Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Hey, Just digging up this (very!!!) interesant topic... Orin, I heard you find out they were Paraplecta sp., is it sure? Do you also know the species? I hope to see more roaches identified in the future, that's a shame we have so much species waiting for an ID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
