New data on the fauna, taxonomy and ecology of praying mantises (Dictyoptera, Mantodea) from Russia

Entomological Review, 2015
Two little-known species of praying mantises, Severinia turcomaniae (Saussure, 1872) and Rivetina nana Mistshenko, 1967, are reported for the faunas of Russia and Europe for the first time based on the material collected in Astrakhan Province of Russia. New data on the morphology, ecology, and distribution of these species are given. The male genitalia

Sexual dimorphism of auditory function and structure in praying mantises (Mantodea; Dictyoptera)

Journal of Zoology, 1990
Sexual dimorphism of tympanate auditory systems in insects has bees described in only a few taxonomically isolated cases. However, widespread sexual dimorphism occurs in the ultrasound‐sensitive, midline ear of the praying mantis.In dimorphic species, it is always the female mantis that shows a reduction in ultrasonic hearing.

Striking, slender, and secretly spinose: A revision of the snake mantises of the genus Kongobatha (Mantodea: Nanomantidae: Fulciniinae: Neomantini)

Zootaxa
Kongobatha is one of the most commonly encountered of all Australian mantis genera, and yet despite this, very little is known about the taxonomy or biology of the genus. Described to include a single Australian species, K. diademata, the only subsequent work on the genus has been the description of a second species from New Guinea, K. papua.

The northernmost Eocene genus and species of praying mantises (Mantodea Burmeister, 1838) from Fur Formation, Denmark

Zootaxa
A new fossil mantis, Sergyessa rusti gen. et sp. nov., is described based on a complete forewing from the Fur Formation, Ypresian (lower Eocene) of Denmark. The new genus can be easily distinguished from other praying mantis genera by a long ScP ending at ¾ of the forewing’s length, R with long anterior branches, CuA internally pectinate, CuP sigmoidal
