Seemingly wrong species

The depicted animal does not seem to be of the species Macropanesthia rhinoceros (Sassure 1895). Compare the shape of the legs with this image: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MP_-_Macropanesthia_rhinoceros_2.jpg. It seems far more likely that it is a female member of the genus Gromphadorhina or a close relative, note the leg shape, the colouration, the texture of the body as well as the shape of the pronotum. Compare for example this image: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hissing_Cockroach_059.jpg. It should therefore be renamed and the articles that use it should be updated.
