      The closest I can find is Lucihormetica sp., but I can't find a match. Posted 2 years ago

        Maybe something in one of these genera:

          Thanks for all the searching! I found a bunch of experts in a cockroach study group that agree that it's Hormetica/Lucihormetica. They consider it new/undescribed:

            Great! Cool to find an undescribed species or even genus. And, a 'cockroach study group', lol. Love that there are groups for studying cockroaches. Posted 2 years ago

                So true. Not only do I like cockroaches, but I know a good joke about them. Posted 2 years ago
