I'm sure this is not in Glomeris genus.. Glomeris sp. is only found in European.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomeris .. I think this is in Zephroniidae family, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zephroniidae , I found the same pic, but I'm not sure in what genus..http://www.natura-mundo.de/animals/animalia/30
