New species in Europe

Dear Roachkeepers,

I am a member of a European roach fan group on Facebook and early in the month someone posted a photo about a new species.

Here is the picture:



Someone said it is Gyna caffrorum (Stål, 1856) from South Africa. What do you think about it? I have never saw this species in hobby before.

2 men have this species and they keep the source in secret. The man, who have them first, will sell some when he get more specimen.

 
I recently got hold of these along with G. lurida, and they are very neat indeed. The few adults I have appear a little smaller than lurida. In time I hope to get my hands on the other two Gyna that are doing the rounds so far.

I'm afraid not. But if it's any consolation G. capucina and G. bisannulata are not common in Europe, as I far as I can tell. But maybe easier to find in the States?, if so you might be one Gyna species richer then over here.
