Hierodula
''Hierodula'' is a genus of praying mantids in the tribe Hierodulini, found throughout Asia. Many species are referred to by the common name giant Asian mantis because of their large size compared to other mantids. Their large size and vibrant coloration make ''Hierodula'' mantids popular in the pet trade. Some widespread species include '' H. membranacea'' and '' H. patellifera''; however this has been considered a 'catch all' genus and is currently subject to review. In 2020, three species were moved to a new genus, '' Titanodula''. Recent genetic and morphological studies suggest that most of the species in ''Hierodula'' should be moved to other genera in the tribe Hierodulini, such as: '' Rhombodera'' (for the '' Hierodula chinensis'' clade), '' Tamolanica'' (for the '' Hierodula majuscula'' clade) and '' Rhombomantis'' (for the '' Hierodula patellifera'' clade); as well as potentially new genera. This is because the type species of ''Hierodula'' is '' Hierodula membranacea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
