Turkmenistan Roach = Red Runner or no?

[sidguppy]

see topic title
is the Turkmenistan Roach (Blatta lateralis) the same as the infamous Red Runner (Shelfordella Tartara)?

I ask this because i'm looking for a third roach species and I want a small non climbing species to breed for looks and also feeders (for spiderlings and small scorps)

however, the Red Runner is a pest animal, escapes very easily and spreads through central heated appartment blocks like a wildfire. something I definitely don't want to happen.

if these are the same, does anyone have another suggestion for a easy to breed small non climbing roach species?
doesn't have to be a fast breeder, cause the number of spiderlings and small scorps I'm going to get is even below 10.

all hints and tips appreciated.

Yes, it's the same roach.

As to other suggestions, please use the search function. This question gets asked alot and opinions will vary.

Sorry, if I'm giving the impression of biting off your head, but your question is like asking on a gun forum "I don't like shooting 9mm, what is another caliber that can be used for defense."

I would have done exactly that if this forum had software wich enables to get decent search options.

unfortunately i only got a lot of "no results were found" and after a while my patience ran out

hence the question.

still; any tips for a non-Red Runner roach would be helpful.

maybe try looking up Turkistan Roaches instead of Turkmenistan.
