Chinese customs officers accidentally found an insect unknown to science.

In the province of Guangdong, Chinese customs officers found a cockroach unknown to science. It arrived in the country with a cargo of timber from French Guiana in South America. Customs officers handed over the discovered insect to scientists. Whether it was alive is not specified. Biologists did a DNA analysis and studied the morphological features of a cockroach. They didn't match any known creature. It turned out that the insect is a new species from the Latindia class. The scientists published their findings in the Chinese Journal of Molecular Biology.
