User's notes
A small and relatively narrow tan-brown slim cockroach with a pair of symmetrical marks/textured patches on the pronotum. The wings appear translucent despite being coloured tan, and have diagonal lines, possibly textural rather than a pigment difference, running parallel with the front edge of the fore wings (photo 2). The underside is generally the same colour as the upper side, except for some blackening of the abdomen at the front (photo 5).

Very interesting cockroach. I think it's probably an Ectoneura sp. But I don't have enough info to identify this one to species.
