Probably these are not adults. I can imagine that they would become the large black roach with wings I have seen often in SE Asia. Sorry, no idea of their name.

I think they are Cryptocercus primaries Bey-Bienko
I offen found these roaches inside rotten timer when I'm looking for Lucanidae larvae in Asia. They feed on rooten timer. There are sp wingless. I've personially caught this sp in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan China.

yes timber feeding roaches but as far as I know they are not wimgless, look closely and note the broken wings, about a third remains. When they acheive their final moult (the adult form) they fly off and find a new log and or mate and this is the tage at which I have found the winged form at light. The wings do not last long however, they break off when they burry into their new found log... The Australian timber cockroach is a close relative Panesthia australis.

That would be why I've seen winged versions of these coming to light.
