I have seen Parcoblatta uhleriana. But there might be one species similar to this which is P. fulvescens but I have read that they are a lot smaller. I do not know if the many P. uhleriana like adult males I have seen are P. fulvescens or uhleriana but they were big. A person good with insects said that it might be a P. fulvescens by the pronotom to a picture I took of one of the males and to me it looked the same as the other ones.

Very possibly but there are several similar looking species & I wouldn't want to hazard a guess which this is!
