What the heck are these?

[tmanjim]

I am going to try something I haven't done before on Arachnoboards. Need help identifying these mystery roaches. They were found in classroom in a nature museum. They are not Oriental as someone already guessed. I personally have never seen them and have been in pest management in the midwest for 25 years. Please help.

Looks like Pycnoscelus surinamensis to me.

I think so too, the body shape is a little off but they look like that when they dry out. immature btw.

Pycnoscelus surinamensis...What city? Chicago?

 

[Galapoheros]

Panchlora nivea(banana roach) nymphs look kind of like that too. I have them here in the wood pile along with surinams, hard for me to tell the diff between the two when nymphs.

Those are Surinam roaches its either a pycnoscelus surianmesis or pycnoscelus femapterus , i used to catch these guys as food for my cane toad and fbt. They live under the soil , they eat fish flakes.
