I was wondering if anyone have any pictures of other species within the Blaptica genus besides Blaptica dubia.

I tried a google search to no avail and I noticed a Blaptica species list on a few websites. It looks like some new species were discovered as recently as 2005.

You will be hard-pressed to find pictures of any species of Blaptica other than dubia. There may be some black and white pictures in some of Dr. Roth's publications but my memory is foggy as to whether or not there are any.

Half of those species may be invalid or the same species; if the genus is anything like Blaberus there is still a lot of work to be done.
