Considering the default human species having a base temperature of 22°C with a range of +-22°C, you would need either "Base Temp -40C" and "Temp Range +4" (to get to -18°C +-26°C) or simply "Base Temp -50" (to get to -28°C +-22°C). That brings the total research cost to 155k and 160k RP, respectively. Edit : Plus designing the new species itself, which can be several thousand RPs.
Unless there's something I don't really get in new species (never done it myself).

Cool... so I'm about halfway there.

I've been trying to set up a game where genetic modification would be worthwhile, but small games and invaders don't go well together.
