Titanodula Attenboroughi
''Titanodula'' is a genus of mantids in the subfamily Hierodulinae. There are currently five species placed in ''Titanodula''. The genus is endemic to Asia and is distinguished from the similar genus ''Hierodula'' by the large size and unique male genitalia of its member species.Xavier H.C. Vermeersch. 2020.

Mantidae
Mantidae is one of the largest families in the order of praying mantises, based on the type species ''Mantis religiosa''; however, most genera are tropical or subtropical. Historically, this was the only family in the order, and many references still use the term "mantid" to refer to any mantis. Technically, however, "mantid" refers only to members of the family Mantidae, and not the 14 remaining families of mantises. Some of the most recent classifications have promoted a number of the mantid subfamilies to the rank of family, e.g. Iridopterygidae, Sibyllidae, Tarachodidae, Thespidae, and Toxoderidae, while other classifications have reduced the number of subfamilies without elevating to higher rank. Subfamilies and genera Following the major revision of the Mantodea in 2019, the ''Mantodea Species File'' includes ten subfamilies: Choeradodinae The Americas, Asia * ''Asiadodis'' Roy, 2004 * ''Choeradodis'' Serville, 1831 * †'' Prochaeradodis'' Piton, 1940 Deromantinae ...

Hierodulinae
The ''Hierodulinae'' are a subfamily of praying mantids, originally used by Brunner von Wattenwyl. It was restored as part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy, and now contains genera previously placed elsewhere in the family Mantidae. The new placement means that this taxon is part of the superfamily Mantoidea (of group Cernomantodea) and infraorder Schizomantodea. Species have been recorded from: Africa, Asia and Australia. Tribes and genera This subfamily now contains many genera that were previously placed elsewhere including the Mantinae. The ''Mantodea Species File'' lists two tribes here: Archimantini * subtribe Archimantina ** '' Archimantis'' Saussure, 1869 ** '' Austromantis'' Sjostedt, 1918 ** '' Austrovates'' Sjostedt, 1918 ** '' Coenomantis'' Giglio-Tos, 1917 ** '' Corthylomantis'' Milledge, 1997 ** '' Nullabora'' Tindale, 1923 * subtribe Pseudomantina ** '' Pseudomantis'' Saussure, 1869 * subtribe Trachymantina ** '' Sphodropoda'' Stal, 1871 ** '' Trac ...

Endemism
Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example ''Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. ''Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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''.Xavier H.C. Vermeersch. 2020.
