    The similar Ellipsidion is called the 'beautiful cockroach' I am not sure the difference in the genera but probably related to translucence in pronotum. The ellipsidion page are both nymphal and I shall fine an adult for you... http://www.jungledragon.com/specie/5418/austral_ellipsidion_cockroach.html Posted 9 years ago
