Ischnoptera deropeltiformis?  From Granville County, NC - Ischnoptera deropeltiformis - male

Ischnoptera deropeltiformis? From Granville County, NC - Ischnoptera deropeltiformis - Male
Granville County, North Carolina, USA
May 8, 2013
Size: About 22mm long
I found these close to a road side of a forest. There were barely any pine needles, just oak and other kinds of leaves. A lot of fungi (white and it smelled good). I found more males than females. There were not very many rotting logs, some rotting pine logs (no roaches there) and some logs that I think are hardwood (a few roaches). There were only a few Parcoblatta (I guess that is what they are) there. I found them in the leaves. I found something like a Rhino Beetle larva (I think 3rd stage, and maybe female) there too. There were roaches that look like Cariblatta lutea there but I found more of them right on the edge of the forest and not inside of it strangely. Is this a Ischnoptera deropeltiformis?
