Roach ID from Sweden (indoor env)

[thope007]

Hi, I wonder if anyone knows the ID of this roach found indoors in an apartment in central Sweden. I'll apologize for the rather misleading picture but that is what I recieved from our technician in the field.

Cheers/thomas

I can not ID them, but they look really cool!

Periplaneta?

 

[RomanBuck]

It looks too flat for Periplaneta, I would have to guess Pycnoscelus sp. But I dont think they live in Sweden.. Maybe in a house plant?

 

[Cariblatta lutea]

It reminds me of a variation of Periplaneta brunnea, but there's a high chance that this could be other species in the same genus.

The adult looks almost like P. Fulinginosa, but the body is too round and I don't think that species would do well in Sweden.

The pronum has some pattern on it, if we could get a closer view of that it might help.

I wonder if these could be Periplaneta japonica...

I do not think so. http://www.google.co..._vmkOO3s8eieKg=

Search Orthoptera of Korea and that website has a picture of a P. japonica nymph (Or at least it is labeled P. japonica).

Exciting discussion! Unfortunately I don't have any more pictures. It was found indoors in a flat (as far as I know). //Thomas
