#110 - Half-banded Shining Cockroach
Drymaplaneta semivitta, also known in New Zealand as the Gisbourne Roach, where it was introduced.
Going for a walk in the evenings is certainly giving me a good idea of the variety of cockroaches around the area. And not one of the ones I've seen on these walks is a pest species, although this one and the Common Shining Cockroach wanders into houses fairly regularly, where they promptly falls victim to cats.
