Coordinates of the survey sites. Site Coordinates Mantds are one of the important groups of predatory 1 Karmahari, Ghazipur 25.35140N & 82.64810E insects of diferent agroecosystems. Mantds are also 2 Chahaniya, Chandauli 25.41890N & 83.21180E called preying mantds due to their preying ability. They 3 Chakka bandh Dam, Ghazipur 25.42040N & 83.55740E are sometme confused with the mantsfies of the order 4 Rohuna, Ghazipur 25.41590N & 83.55980E Neuroptera. Mantds are grouped in the superorder 0 0 Dictyoptera because of their more closeness to cockroaches 5 Maujhi, Chandauli 25.4255 N & 83.5580 E and termites while forelegs of mantds are raptorial type 6 Mohammadabad, Ghazipur 25..61680N & 83.75310E which is not identcal to the forelegs of cockroaches and 7 Dehariya, Ghazipur 25.29910N & 83.65620E termites. Globally, 2,384 species under 434 genera of 15 families are known (Ehrmann & Roy 2002) while Ote et al (2020) listed 2,400 species from 430 genera; in which more MATERIALS AND METHODS than 169 species, 71 genera, and 11 families are known from India of which 60 species are endemic to the country The present exploraton was made from a series of (Mukherjee et al. 2014). Mantds are a key agent of natural surveys of the several locatons in Utar Pradesh, India from and biological control in most of the terrestrial ecosystems 2017 to 2019. The study sites were located in diferent due to their sophistcated behaviour and modifcatons. areas of eastern Utar Pradesh (Table 1). The mantds They are easily identfed by their raptorial forelegs, were collected by sweeping net, light trap, and hand- triangular head, visible eyes, and large cerci. picking methods. Afer photography, most of the mantds Probably, frst taxonomic work on mantds was initated were released to avoid the loss of biodiversity issue. The by Linnaeus (1758) while in India, remarkable contributon collectons were made during morning and night hours, to mantds came in light when the Wood-Mason joined i.e., 07.00–10.00 h and 20.00–22.00 h, respectvely. Some as director of Indian Museum, Kolkata (Yadav 2017) and of the collected materials were killed in the killing botle published a Catalogue of the Mantodea of Indian Museum containing ethyle acetate. Subsequently, materials were collectons by Wood-Mason (1889 & 1891). Subsequently cleaned with hair brush, pinned and relaxed (as per need) Bolivar (1899) and Werner (1931, 1933 & 1935) contributed on the handmade stretching board of thermocol. It was to the Indian mantds. Kirby (1904) has created a synonimic kept for more than 60–72 hours for drying to avoid spoilage catalogue of the 82 species of mantds from India whereas, of the specimens. The identfcaton was made based on Nadkerni (1965) amassed 55 more mantds. Some notable the morphological and genitalic features. The specimens works on the taxonomy and distributon of mantds were collected were deposited in the Department of Agricultural done by Mukherjee & Hazra (1983), Mukherjee et al.
