Another Hisser hybrid question

[Keith]

Can aeluropoda insignis (flat horn Hisser) hybridize with any of these 3 species? I need to know.

p. vanwaerebecki (tiger Hisser)

g. portentosa

g. oblongonata (wide horn Hisser)

 

[Thomas]

Considering that they are classified under different genera, it's unlikely. G. portentosa and G. oblongonata surely can, if that's of any significance to your question.

 

[Keith]

I need to know for certain to prevent accidental hybridization.

I am already aware the other 3 readily hybridize with eachother, my question is can any of them hybridize with flat horn Hisser. I am hoping others had them in mixed colonies that's the only way we would know.

 

[Tiff_Trioxin]

P. Vanwaerebecki is not a tiger hisser it is a vibrant hisser. The true tiger hisser is Gromphadorhina Grandidieri.

 

[Keith]

Still need a definite answer I hope somebody knows...

I also have a hybridization question:

I recently received B. giganteus and will be receiving B. discoidalis (not a proven line, so might be hybrids themselves) soon. Any risk of these guys hybridizing if I mix up any nymphs? I am just wondering how careful/vigilant I need to be with them to prevent unwanted hybrids.

Although males of other species have tried to mate with female flat horn no offspring result so they can't hybridize.
