Cockroaches (Blattodea, several families)

A good reference for Cockroaches is the book “A Guide to the Cockroaches of Australia” by David Rentz. https://www.publish.csiro.au/book/6710/

This webpage by the CSIRO is also useful:

This looks closer to an Ellipsidion humerale nymph to me. I can’t see it as an option to use as Suggestion so will leave at Genus-level.

I cant find any info on Johnrehnia solida, and the inaturalist link is only a suggestion from one person and not a solid ID. Unfortunately they are not mentioned in Rentz's book on Cockroaches, so in the absence of evidence that this might be something else I am fairly confident in an ID of Robshelfordia circumducta.

I will do some reading, hopefully Rentz has some info in his cockroach book. From a quick online search they look very similar but I need to do more searching. Always more to learn.
