CHINA-GUANGDONG-CUSTOMS-COCKROACH-NEW SPECIES (CN)
(221116) -- GUANGZHOU, Nov. 16, 2022 (Xinhua) -- This undated photo shows a cockroach that has turned out to be a new species from the Latindia genus. Customs officials in south China's Guangdong Province have said that a cockroach that was discovered on a log shipment from South America has turned out to be a new species.
The customs office at Zhongshan Port in the city of Zhongshan said it found one cockroach-like insect when examining logs imported from French Guiana in May last year.
Through DNA and morphological identification, officials determined that the insect did not match any existing record of cockroaches. Further research confirmed it to be a previously undocumented species from the Latindia genus. (Xinhua)
