Tenodera superstitiosa subsp. bokiana
No full textTenodera superstitiosa bokiana (Giglio-Tos, 1907) Described from Africa, all Australian and Southeast Asian records of this subspecies have been misidentifications of T. blanchardi (Schwarz & Konopik 2014). It is here removed from the Australian list.Published as part of Connors, Matthew G., 2023, Studies in Australian Mantodea: New synonyms, notes on distributions, and an updated checklist, pp. 477-499 in Zootaxa 5239 (4) on page 482, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5239.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/763515

No full textFIGURE 1. Approximate distribution and diversity of recently-arrived mantis species in Australia. The Torres Strait is shown as a single circle for clarity. One species (Miomantis caffra) is also known from Norfolk Island, not pictured here.Published as part of Connors, Matthew G., 2023, Studies in Australian Mantodea: New synonyms, notes on distributions, and an updated checklist, pp. 477-499 in Zootaxa 5239 (4) on page 493, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5239.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/763515
Tenodera Burmeister 1838
No full textTenodera Burmeister, 1838 Six different species of Tenodera have been variously recorded from Australia, but in reality, only two (T. australasiae Leach, 1814 and T. blanchardi Giglio-Tos, 1912) are known to definitively occur.Published as part of Connors, Matthew G., 2023, Studies in Australian Mantodea: New synonyms, notes on distributions, and an updated checklist, pp. 477-499 in Zootaxa 5239 (4) on page 481, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5239.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/763515
Pseudomantis papua Connors 2023, comb. nov.
No full textPseudomantis papua (Werner, 1928) comb. nov. Transferred from Hierodula. Although only known from a single female, both the description and figures clearly show that Werner’s Hierodula papua is a member of the genus Pseudomantis.Published as part of Connors, Matthew G., 2023, Studies in Australian Mantodea: New synonyms, notes on distributions, and an updated checklist, pp. 477-499 in Zootaxa 5239 (4) on page 484, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5239.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/763515

Pseudomantis Saussure 1869
No full textPseudomantis Saussure, 1869 = Notomantis Tindale, 1923 syn. nov. See notes under P. hartmeyeri. The New Caledonian N. brunneriana (Saussure, 1871) does not belong to Pseudomantis and is instead a member of the Tenoderina (Mantidae: Tenoderinae: Tenoderini). It will be assigned to a genus in the near future.Published as part of Connors, Matthew G., 2023, Studies in Australian Mantodea: New synonyms, notes on distributions, and an updated checklist, pp. 477-499 in Zootaxa 5239 (4) on page 484, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5239.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/763515
Tenodera intermedia Saussure 1870
No full textTenodera intermedia Saussure, 1870 Described from a single specimen collected in Auckland, New Zealand (Saussure 1870), this species has not been recorded since and was likely brought into the country from elsewhere (Ramsay 1990). All Australian specimens collected by Tindale are misidentified T. blanchardi (Tindale 1923), and hence the species is removed from the Australian list.Published as part of Connors, Matthew G., 2023, Studies in Australian Mantodea: New synonyms, notes on distributions, and an updated checklist, pp. 477-499 in Zootaxa 5239 (4) on page 482, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5239.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/763515
Hierodula patellifera
No full textHierodula patellifera (Audinet-Serville, 1838) This species is known only from Christmas Island in Australia but is widespread and common throughout Southeast Asia and the Pacific. The Christmas Island population was originally described as H. dispar Kirby, 1900 and subsequently synonymised with H. patellifera by Beier (1935), however there are considerable differences between the populations and a re-investigation of the synonymy is warranted (C.-T. Hsu pers. comm.).Published as part of Connors, Matthew G., 2023, Studies in Australian Mantodea: New synonyms, notes on distributions, and an updated checklist, pp. 477-499 in Zootaxa 5239 (4) on page 483, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5239.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/763515
