No full textKey to the species of the genus Apteromantis (based on examined specimens): 1 Eyes of female moderately conical and projected into a triangular tubercle; area between compound eyes with a flat profile. Angle formed at the apex of the lower distal branch of the hypophallus almost right; tip of pseudophallus almost triangular (specimens from Iberia)......................................................................... A. aptera - Eyes markedly conical and projected into a spiny tubercle; area between compound eyes with a concave profile. Angle formed at the apex of the lower distal branch of the hypophallus acute; tip of pseudophallus very thin, thread-like (specimens from Northwest Africa).............................................................................

Colour change and habitat preferences in Mantis religiosa
No full textA population of praying mantids Mantis religiosa L. was studied in a submontane habitat near Vicenza in Northern Italy. Sixtythree mantids were observed and studied in the field with the mark and recapture method to obtain ecological information about
the coloration patterns, habitat preferences and strategies of this species. Additionally, a population of mantids was housed in artificial conditions to estimate the presence of colour changes in adults. A regular distribution of the coloration of the insects was found in the field during the changing of the season, and partial colour changes not linked to the substrate or the moult process were observed in artificial conditions. The basic structure of the preferred habitat of M. religiosa is described as a pattern of grassland and thorny bushes of the Rosaceae famil

Orthoptera in the far side of the world: the southernmost new genus of Phaneropterinae, and the ecology of some Subantarctic Orthoptera
No full textA survey on orthoptera in the transition zone between the Patagonian and Subantarctic regions of Argentina, along the Atlantic coast, was conducted to improve knowledge on these insects, which in these extreme areas have evolved into peculiar species, indicative to understand the biogeographical limits of this order of insects. New data have emerged on highly specialized genera such as Bufonacris and Astroma while other more generalist genera such as Sinipta have shown considerable expansion southwards, probably favoured by warmer climatic conditions. A new genus and species are described here for the first time: Caimanellus gen. nov. with the species Caimanellus australis sp. nov., at present the southernmost representative of the Phaneropterinae ever recorded. More general considerations on the evolution of the distributional limits of this large group of orthopterans are here discusse
