Beetle Cockroach!

Cockroaches from Genus Diploptera resembles Beetles, reason why they are sometimes called Beetle Cockroach.
They are viviparous cockroaches with the embryo developing inside the body of the mother.
At the time of description of this species, males of the species was still unknown, I wonder if the males of the species have already been discovered since then.
