PFFT, if Mantis religiosa, then I think almost all over the region live. I do not know whether empuzas were recorded there or not, but in the south of the region there is 100% - we caught it even near Buzuluk

We are going north to Sergiev Mineralnye Vody.
Well, let's look, at least they gave us hope, thank smile.gifyou

Hello. Recently, I caught a female Owl in Khabarovsk, then a male (how thin and small they are compared to females!). They mated, and a few hours later the female laid her ooteka. I let the male go (he flew so far..), the female didn't even touch him! Maybe because I fed her during the mating season. I am interested in whether we have other types of praying mantises in the Far East, in the Khabarovsk Territory? If so, which ones? I read somewhere about the Chinese praying mantis, can it live here?

28.08.2012 18:37, Dracus

No, in the Khabarovsk Territory, only literature. Tenodera angustipennis, the second Far Eastern species (the largest in Russia, by the way) can be found only in the very south of Primorsky Krai, in the Khasansky district (Gamova Peninsula, Khasan, Zarubino-some reliable points). Imago in the last days of August and September.

29.08.2012 10:32, Helen0210

It's clear... Thank you. A pity))

10.10.2012 13:53, gonkem1986

Can you please provide some links to publications about the findings of Tenodera angustipennis in Russia?

Thanks!Do we have any more recent,modern finds of this species?

12.10.2012 1:11, Dracus

Well, I personally caught it on Gamov Peninsula in 2008. (2 larvae, 1 adult male, the material is kept by me) - even wrote about it in the topic "Random finds".

10.11.2012 17:44, Guest

Can anyone provide a complete list of Russian species?How many are reliably registered to date? I know that on DV-2-religia and tenoder and in Siberia, too, 2 seems to be the same religia and polistikta. With the European part more complicated and richer)...or can you link to such information?) ... Thank you in advance)

10.11.2012 21:48, gonkem1986

European Russia, mainly South, Caucasus:
1) Ameles heldreichi (Heldreich's mantis)-a small praying mantis, recently found in Russia,so far only a few points are known, as far as I know;
2)Bolivaria brachyptera;
3) Iris oratoria;
4)Iris polystictica-also found in the south of Siberia;
5)Empusa pennicornis;
6)Empusa fasciata;
7) Hierodula tenuidentata-tree mantis;
8) Common mantis (Mantis religiosa polonica-European part; Mantis religiosa beybienkoi-Siberia, Far East;
9)Tenodera angustipennis-DV.
10) Hierodula transcaucasica-also south;
11)Rivetina nana-Astrakhan region;
Other species of Russia are much less well known.

Iris oratoria does not enter the territory of Ukraine and the Russian Federation.

10.11.2012 22:09, gonkem1986

Really?And where did it come from in the Red Data Book of the Saratov region?

10.11.2012 22:10, Dracus

Definition error. The ranges of these species may overlap only in the south of Moldova.

10.11.2012 22:12, Dracus

I will also add Armene pusilla (Chelyabinsk region) and Severinia turcomaniae (Astrakhan region) to the list.

10.11.2012 22:14, gonkem1986

Thanks for the info then)...I wasn't aware...can you add to the list?...I don't seem to have specified everything...

10.11.2012 22:15, gonkem1986

But...while writing-added)

10.11.2012 22:17, Dracus

Another correction - Hierodula tenuidentata has not been caught yet.

10.11.2012 22:21, gonkem1986

This is if you count it and Hierodula transcaucasica as different species?

10.11.2012 22:30, Dracus

Well, yes, so with the reality of transcaucasica really not everything is clear.

10.11.2012 22:34, gonkem1986

Various sources say that there are more than 20 species of praying mantises in Russia,but I can't name so many.

10.11.2012 22:55, Dracus

No, everything that was caught has already been listed.

10.11.2012 23:01, Guest

And unconfirmed if you take?Or what else are you likely to find?...Have something to say?)

10.11.2012 23:35, gonkem1986

Only if we take into account the North Kazakhstan and Transcaucasian species...some of them may be able to be found in the future probably...for Siberia and the Far East, you can still assume some Mongolian and Chinese ones...

15.11.2012 21:12, Guest

Can I send you a list of views of the former USSR?

15.11.2012 21:36, Dracus

This is already a separate painstaking work, approximately more than 120 names of the species group are obtained, but many subspecies and even species are poorly described and require redescription,so there is no big point in such a checklist. By birth easier - the same as ours, plus Eremiaphila.

15.11.2012 22:09, lepidopterolog

And how far north do Eremiaphila go?

15.11.2012 22:28, Dracus

There are materials from Armenia and Turkmenistan (I can't remember the exact labels right now, they're all in museums), but I think they may be further north - the animals are secretive, hard to find, and even harder to catch.

15.11.2012 22:33, gonkem1986

Can you tell me if there are any review papers on this group in our country or within the CIS?...Articles or publications?...I mean, mantises in general.

15.11.2012 22:38, Dracus

Alas, no. There is a publication by I. I. Lindt (1982) " Concerning the study of the mantis fauna (Mantoptera) USSR", but it mostly contains the most basic information about mantises as a group. No taxonomic, zoogeographical, or other reviews of the USSR have been published (we don't count manuscripts as publications).

15.11.2012 22:46, gonkem1986

This means a white spot and space for work and implementation of young scientists who want to work)...There are relatively few species in comparison with the closely related erect-winged ones, and the number of publications is much lower...Somehow they are deprived of attention...

Praying mantis in the mountains of Uzbekistan, near Tashkent. September 2013 What kind of view?

Bolivaria cf. brachyptera, female. It can be reliably determined if there is a picture of the end of the abdomen from above.

The first is the female Hierodula tenuidentata, I won't help you with the empusa yet (all hands can't figure them out properly), but it doesn't seem to be E. pennicornis.

Good time of day.
Help us determine what kind of praying mantis it is.
Place and time: September 2013, near the city of Alexandria (Egypt), Mediterranean coast.

Sphodromantis viridis, a female nymph. Comrades, it is better to throw mantises at the definition in this topic.

02.11.2015 9:04, Jaguar paw

Let's pick up a forgotten topic.
At the end of September, in Tbilisi (Georgia), a female Bolivaria brachyptera was found in an interesting (for me) position - the abdomen was pushed under the stones, where she actively rotated it. A few days after this incident, the ground under the stone was carefully dug, where an ooteka (still fresh in color) was later found. I have never seen any mention anywhere of the Bolivarians depositing ootec directly into the ground. Ooteka took home, we will wait that from it will hatch. Was this an isolated incident caused by a very dry summer (or other unsuitable conditions), or is it a common behavior for them?

Additionally, yesterday I came across an article (attached to the message), which refers to species with similar behavior (including the genus Rivetina, which is also given for the Caucasus and Georgia in particular), in which females have outgrowths for digging the ground on sternites (honestly, I did not pay attention to the presence of such in the females of the Bolivarian).

A photo of the process is attached.

It is very cool! Indeed, there are no outgrowths on the genital lamina characteristic of Rivetina and Rivetinula in Bolivarias, and the only data on laying were given in 1993 by Lindt, who claimed that oothecae are deposited on the basal parts of plants. From this, he deduced the ecological difference between Bolivia, which is not found in very dry places, such as sandy deserts, and the rivetins very close to it, which these places have developed (including within the range of Bolivia).
Jaguar paw, would you mind sending me an email with a photo of Bolivia (if you have a higher resolution) and ooteka? Just for the collection so far. I would really appreciate it. Please keep the ooteka, regardless of whether something hatches from it or not!

02.11.2015 19:39, Jaguar paw

Dracus, I myself am a spiderman (not professional, but a big fan), but I am also interested in insects. The photo is not mine, but my small friends who are also interested in arthropods and other animals, I just try to introduce them to nature closer, and they make such interesting observations smile.gifTo be honest, when they told me about it, I was sure that the ooteka would be attached to the bottom of the stone, but it turned out That I was wrong.

The photo must be in its original resolution (I'll ask you), and I'll ask you to take a picture of the library.


Thank you for your attention!

update: original attached https://dropmefiles.com/z86v9 . A snapshot of the library will be available in a few days.

p. s. Could you suggest a collection point for Rivetina caucasica in Georgia? smile.gif
