Yes it is the same species. Leucophaea maderae and Rhyparobia maderae are synonym. Its the same species with a different name. It was originally described by Fabricius as Blatta maderae.

There is (still) some discussion about what the valid name is. AFAIK Rhyparobia is a isogenic synonym of Leucophaea, and Leucophaea maderae is the valid name. The genus Leucophaea was described previous to Rhyparobia, but no type species was assigned (Brunner 1865 describing the genus as subgenus of Panchlora). One of the four species assigned to Leucophaea was Fabricius's B. maderae. Then Rhyparobia was described with the type species B. maderae (F.) assigned to it (Krauss 1893). 1903 there was a publication with Leucophaea and the taxon maderae being assigned as type species (Rehn 1903). One year later Kirby designated, obviously not knowing about Rehn's paper, Blatta surinamensis as type species of Leucophaea.

I can't find the reference where i got this from right now. Its an older one, pre 1950's i think.
