I got at least 100 sub-adult roaches from an ebay seller. I asked her if they are pure and she said they were. Now, how would I tell the difference between discoid roaches that are pure and hybrid.

 
I would to now this answer also didn't know there was a such thing and dose it make a difference in the breeding process  

 
Well, lots of "Discoid" roaches in the hobby are actually hybrids of B.craniifer and B.fusca, and you can easily tell those apart from B.discoidalis because they are larger and have different coloration than true discoids.

However there are also hybrids between B.discoidalis and B.atropos, B.sp "Venezuela" and other closely related species that will be marked as discoids too, and I don't really know how to tell those apart. Ask the person you bought them from where she got hers.
