Hi
I seem to always buy roaches with only 'common names' these days :o

I bought these today as Cuban wood roaches :confused:

The females have reduced wing cases and have yellowish/light orange band along the forward edge of the head part (not sure on the proper name) and the males are extremely dark brown or black with wings.
The females are slightly longer and wider than dubia and the males are slightly shorter but wider than dubia males.
Not a very good description i know :(

Adult female

The look Like Byrsotria rothi, or at least a Byrsotria species. Nice.
