AbstractA comprehensive taxonomic sampling of Mantodea (praying mantises), covering virtually all higher‐level groups, was assembled to reconstruct the phylogeny of the order. Sequence data were generated from five mitochondrial and four nuclear loci (12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, Histone III, Cytochrome Oxidase I & II, NADH dehydrogenase

Update on the praying mantises (Insecta: Mantodea) of South-East Vietnam
Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.), 2018SummaryA report of Mantodea species collected in South-East Vietnam (provinces Dong Nai, Binh Phuoc and Lam Dong) is presented. New for Vietnam are the subfamily Phyllothelyinae, the tribe Anaxarchini of the subfamily Hymenopodinae and the species Leptomantella lactea (Saussure, 1870), Tropidomantis gressitti Tinkham, 1937, Amantis bolivari Giglio-Tos,

Neuroethology of audition and bat evasion in praying mantises
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2002Many praying mantises have a unique auditory system comprising a single ear located in the ventral midline of the thorax. The hearing is nondirectional, and best frequencies range from 25 kHz to over 100 kHz depending on the species. Bat-like ultrasound triggers complex evasive maneuvers in flying mantises that requires CNS processing in the head.

Sexual dimorphism of auditory function and structure in praying mantises (Mantodea; Dictyoptera)
Journal of Zoology, 1990Sexual 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.

A new leaf sensing organ in a predatory insect group, the praying mantises
Abstract Animals’ sensory systems enable them to navigate and interact with their environments. Adaptive specializations of these systems can generate novel structures or organs that support highly unique niche adaptations. We report the discovery of a novel sensory organ in a group of praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea, Nanomantoidea),Sydney K. Brannoch +7 more
