Juvenile Figure 2 A–C .
Voucher number: DECBA1811.
GenBank accession number: KF155112.
Collection locale. CEIBA Biological Station, Madewini, Guyana.
GPS: 6°29'N, 58°13'W.
Date: 17 - August - 2013.
Collectors. Dominic Evangelista and William R. Kuhn.
Collection/ecological information.
This specimen was collected on vegetation in an uplands secondary forest.
Morphological identification.
This specimen was associated to its adult morph using barcodes in Evangelista et al. (2014). The overall coloration of the juvenile specimens of this species is more similar to that of Colapteroblatta darlingtoni Roth & Gutiérrez, 1998 and Colapteroblatta rehni Roth & Gutiérrez, 1998 than to that of the adults of its own species (see Figure 2).
Genetic information and evolutionary placement. All three specimens have nearly identical cytochrome oxidase I (COI) haplotypes but their position could not be determined relative to other cockroach species with the data evaluated by Evangelista et al. (2014).
Known geographic distribution.
Guyana, Suriname.
