The genus Metallyticus reviewed (Insecta: Mantodea) Frank Wieland Johann-Friedrich-Blumenbach-Institut für Zoologie & Anthropologie und Zoologisches Museum der Georg-August-Universität, Abteilung für Morphologie, Systematik und Evolutionsbiologie, Berliner Str. 28, 37073 Göttingen, Germany [[email protected]] Abstract Metallyticus Westwood, 1835 (Insecta: Dictyoptera: Mantodea) is one of the most fascinating praying mantids but little is known of its biology. Several morphological traits are plesiomorphic, such as the short prothorax, characters of the wing venation and possibly also the lack of discoidal spines on the fore femora. On the other hand, Metallyticus has autapomor- phies which are unique among extant Mantodea, such as the iridescent bluish-green body coloration and the enlargement of the ﬁrst posteroventral spine of the fore femora. The present publication reviews our knowledge of Metallyticus thus providing a basis for further research. Data on 115 Metallyticus specimens are gathered and interpreted. The Latin original descriptions of the ﬁve Metallyticus species known to date, as well as additional descriptions and a key to species level that were originally published by Giglio-Tos (1927) in French, are translated into English.

The Cervical Sclerites of Mantodea Discussed in the Context of Dic - Tyop Teran Phylogeny (Insecta: Dictyoptera)
Entomologische Abhandlungen 63 (1–2): 51–76 © Museum für Tierkunde Dresden, ISSN 0373-8981, 23.06.200651 The cervical sclerites of Mantodea discussed in the context of dic - tyop teran phylogeny (Insecta: Dictyoptera) FRANK WIELAND Zoologisches Institut und Zoologisches Museum, Abt. für Morphologie, Systematik und Evolutionsbiologie, Georg-August- Universität, Berliner Str. 28, 37073 Göttingen, Germany [[email protected]] Abstract. The ventral cervical sclerites, lateral cervical sclerites, and intercervical sclerites of 30 mantodean, 7 “blattarian”, and 4 isopteran species have been studied. This leads to new insights into the dictyopteran ground plan, autapomorphies for several taxa, and the evolution of the mantodean cervical region. It remains unclear if a lack or the presence of one or two ventral cervical sclerites (vcs) has to be assumed for the dictyopteran ground plan. The state of reduction of the vcs in Phyllocrania and Gongylus, however, supports a close relationship of Empusidae and certain Hymenopodidae. A weak, setae-bearing sclerite (sbs) posterior to the ventral cervical sclerites in Cryptocercus is probably autapomorphic. A transverse position of the intercervical sclerites (ics) is a ground plan feature of Dictyoptera and probably autapomorphic for the group. The presence of a groove (lcvg) on the lateral cervical sclerites is also hypothesized as autapomorphic for Dictyoptera with a convergent loss or partial reduction in several “Blattaria” lineages, in Isoptera, and in Metallyticus. A midventral fusion of the intercervical sclerites (ics) has probably taken place in the stem species of Mantoidea with a secondary separation in Theopompella, Ameles and Empusa. Two equally parsimonious hypotheses have been found for the evolution of the torus intercervicalis (ticv) with either a single gain in the ground plan of Mantodea except Mantoida and several losses within the group, or three separate gains in Chaeteessa, Metallyticus and the stem-species of Mantoidea with several losses within the latter.

Fossil Perspectives on the Evolution of Insect Diversity
FOSSIL PERSPECTIVES ON THE EVOLUTION OF INSECT DIVERSITY Thesis submitted by David B Nicholson For examination for the degree of PhD University of York Department of Biology November 2012 1 Abstract A key contribution of palaeontology has been the elucidation of macroevolutionary patterns and processes through deep time, with fossils providing the only direct temporal evidence of how life has responded to a variety of forces. Thus, palaeontology may provide important information on the extinction crisis facing the biosphere today, and its likely consequences. Hexapods (insects and close relatives) comprise over 50% of described species. Explaining why this group dominates terrestrial biodiversity is a major challenge. In this thesis, I present a new dataset of hexapod fossil family ranges compiled from published literature up to the end of 2009. Between four and five hundred families have been added to the hexapod fossil record since previous compilations were published in the early 1990s. Despite this, the broad pattern of described richness through time depicted remains similar, with described richness increasing steadily through geological history and a shift in dominant taxa after the Palaeozoic. However, after detrending, described richness is not well correlated with the earlier datasets, indicating significant changes in shorter term patterns. Corrections for rock record and sampling effort change some of the patterns seen. The time series produced identify several features of the fossil record of insects as likely artefacts, such as high Carboniferous richness, a Cretaceous plateau, and a late Eocene jump in richness. Other features seem more robust, such as a Permian rise and peak, high turnover at the end of the Permian, and a late-Jurassic rise.

According to the label, the specimen was collected in 1902 on Isla de la Mona (Mona Island) in the Caribbean Sea. The recognized distribution of Mantoida is South and Central America as well as Florida. The new location expands the currently known distribution of the genus into the cen tral Caribbean. We furthermore report the first findings of Mantoida on Isla de Marga rita off the coast of Venezuela as well as the first observations of dry habitat use and biology for this genus, including a previously unknown unique egg-laying behavior.

Publication year: 2014 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1036/1097-8542.900183 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1036/1097-8542.900183) Content •Body • Distribution • Behavior • Systematics • Fossil record and evolutionary age • Bibliography • Additional Readings An order of predatory insects, commonly known as praying mantises or praying mantids, with raptorial forelegs. In praying mantises, the foremost of the three leg-bearing segments (that is, the prothorax) is often elongate (Fig. 1). Mantises have large eyes, and the head in most species is highly movable in all planes. Eggs are laid in egg cases (oothecae), containing about 10–400 eggs embedded in a hardening secretion from abdominal glands. Members of the order Mantodea are often well camouflaged by coloration or sometimes bizarre body structures. The popular name of praying mantises is based on their seemingly pious resting position: The folded forelegs evoke the impression of praying behavior. Approximately 2450 species have been described worldwide, with approximately 30 species occurring in the United States (3 of them have been introduced).

New Paleogene Mantises from the Oise Amber and Their Evolutionary Importance
New Paleogene mantises from the Oise amber and their evolutionary importance THOMAS SCHUBNEL and ANDRE NEL Schubnel, T. and Nel, A. 2019. New Paleogene mantises from the Oise amber and their evolutionary importance. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 64 (4): 779–786. Mantodea are rather scarce in the fossil record, especially those belonging to the mantise crown group. Four fossil mantids are described from the lowermost Eocene amber of Oise (France), two Chaeteessidae considered as “genus and species incertae sedis”, and two Mantoididae, described as a new genus and species Pseudomantoida extendidera. We also describe a new specimen of Arvernineura insignis from the Paleocene of Menat (France), confirming the attribution of this taxon to the Chaeteessidae. These fossils are of great interest for future dating of the crown group Mantodea, being the oldest Chaeteessidae and Mantoididae. We propose a new genus name Louispitonia nom. nov. in replacement of Archaeophlebia Piton, 1940 preoccupied by Archaeophlebia Ris, 1909 (Odonata) with Archaeophlebia enigmatica as its type species.
