In the region of Mouleres (Gafsa, Tunisia) this species of Blaps is very abundant. They are found mostly at night in urbanized areas near houses. I am interested in confirming the identification of this species. Is it Blaps hispanica?
Dear Dr. Ramzi,Your photos are good but it is difficult to identify them to the sp. just from photos. So I send you some photos of Blaps sp. collected from the internet.
Hope you can compare between the attached photos and your insects. However, I think that B. hispanica in right.
