I don't belive these are Laxta that are much more flattened and unicolorous, closer to the calolampra/molytria complex. Very close to the Molytria that I have discovered in the Gymnea lilies in ANBG. BTW these have produced offspring there

I am sticking to my previous suggestions. Like many cockroaches in the the Calolampra, Molytria, Rhabdoblatta complex a specimen is needed to compare with the the collection at ANIC
