Matttoadman Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Those are cool. If you keep exploring the Latin word rudis, you find it means Rude, course or rough. The nymphs are definitely course or rough. So perhaps tis the Course flat bark roach or Rough flat bark roach? Gorgeous nonetheless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Rough" would definitely be something to incorporate into the CN, but I really feel like three descriptive words overdoes it...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All About Arthropods Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 OOH, just found a name that could apply to them or Schizopilia..........Disk Roach. I vote to keep Lanxoblatta as "Rough Bark Roach" though. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schizopilia's common name should incorporate their unique pronotum structure IMO, something like "Notched bark roach", or something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlattaAnglicana Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 How do you tell the sexes of these apart? The males and females look exactly the same to me! They are beautiful and very unusual, I don't think I've seen anything quite like these 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be hard to tell in photos, in person it's easy though. Thanks, they are very unique roaches, really hoping they'll breed for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 My female is getting pretty plump now, I'm hoping this means she'll give birth soon! Here are a few pictures of her and my subadult female: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimera Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Hooooooly smokes, my jaw literally dropped when I saw those nymphs. They look so... prehistoric, in a way. Such beautiful markings, so different than any other roach I've seen in the hobby! Please please let me know if you get nymphs! EDIT: I apologize if this already got addressed somewhere in the thread and I didn't see it, but how big do they get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
