“…P) and Photiomantinae (not shown, but comparable to Fig. O, P; see also Agudelo & Rivera, : 348) all exhibit a less‐specialized lateral process on the right margin of the ventral phallomere, where this appears to be a continuation of the phallomere itself in terms of both its level of differentiation and sclerotization. This contrasts with the condition observed in Photinainae, where the same structure is clearly differentiated, showing higher structural variability and various degrees of sclerotization and specialization (Fig.…”

We perform phylogenetic analyses of the 'polymorphic earless praying mantises', a heterogeneous assemblage comprising c. 55% of mantodean diversity in the Neotropics. Bayesian and maximum-likelihood were implemented on a DNA dataset of 9949 aligned nucleic acid characters comprising ten mitochondrial and nuclear genes. Our analyses largely resolved congruent relationships with high levels of support for higher-level taxonomic groups, but revealed extensive inconsistencies between the resolved topology and morphology-based classification systems. The polymorphic earless praying mantises, now granted superfamily status as the Acanthopoidea stat.n., comprises 8 families, 15 subfamilies and 18 tribes. Our newly revised organization required the following taxonomic changes: (i) Thespidae sensu n., including subfamilies Pseudopogonogastrinae subfam.n., Pseudomiopteryginae sensu n., Bantiinae subfam.n., Miobantiinae sensu n. and Thespinae sensu n. (tribes Musoniellini trib.n. and Thespini sensu n.); (ii) Angelidae stat.n. et sensu n.; (iii) Coptopterygidae stat.n.; (iv) Liturgusidae sensu n.; (v) Photinaidae stat.n., including Macromantinae stat.n., Cardiopterinae stat.n., Photiomantinae subfam.n. and Photinainae sensu n. (tribes Microphotinini trib.n., Orthoderellini stat.n. and Photinaini sensu n.); (vi) Stenophyllidae stat.n.; (vii) Acontistidae stat.n.; and (viii) Acanthopidae sensu n. Our new system also resulted in the reassignment of various genera to new and existing higher-level taxa, the exclusion of old world genera otherwise traditionally classified among the Thespidae, Liturgusidae and Angelidae, the confirmation of Stenophylla Westwood as member of this clade, and the revalidation of Paradiabantia Piza stat.r. We provide diagnoses for all suprageneric taxa using external morphological characters and male genitalia. A key to higher-level groups is provided. We incorporate egg case structural variation as a novel approach for taxon delineation.This published work has been registered in ZooBank, http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid: zoobank.

“…At present, praying mantis species are most frequently delimited through observable differences in external morphological and genitalic features (e.g., Svenson 2014, Agudelo and Rafael 2014, Agudelo and Rivera 2015, Svenson et al 2015, Rivera and Svenson 2016, Brannoch and Svenson 2016a, b, Svenson et al 2016, Rodrigues and Cancello 2016, etc.). The reliance on genitalia to make taxic determinations necessitates a morphological investigation of both the male and female genitalia as well as the pre- and post-genital segmentation of the abdomen (see Suppl.…”

This study provides a comprehensive review of historical morphological nomenclature used for praying mantis (Mantodea) morphology, which includes citations, original use, and assignment of homology. All referenced structures across historical works correspond to a proposed standard term for use in all subsequent works pertaining to praying mantis morphology and systematics. The new standards are presented with a verbal description in a glossary as well as indicated on illustrations and images. In the vast majority of cases, originally used terms were adopted as the new standard. In addition, historical morphological topographical homology conjectures are considered with discussion on modern interpretations. A new standardized formulation to present foreleg femoral and tibial spines is proposed for clarity based on previous works. In addition, descriptions for methods of collection, curation, genital complex dissection, and labeling are provided to aid in the proper preservation and storage of specimens for longevity and ease of study. Due to the lack of consistent linear morphometric measurement practices in the literature, we have proposed a series of measurements for taxonomic and morphological research. These measurements are presented with figures to provide visual aids with homologous landmarks to ensure compatibility and comparability across the Order. Finally, our proposed method of pinning mantises is presented with a photographical example as well as a video tutorial available at http://mantodearesearch.com.

New leaf-mine fossil from the Geumgwangdong Formation, Pohang Basin, South Korea, associates pygmy moths (Lepidoptera, Nepticulidae) with beech trees (Fagaceae,Fagus) in the Miocene

A nepticulid leaf-mine ichnofossil, Stigmellites janggi Sohn and Nam, n. ichnosp., is described on the basis of a fossil leaf of Fagus from the early Miocene Geumgwangdong Formation in Pohang Basin. This mine trace is characterized by a linear-blotch type with a clear centric frass trail composed of closely and randomly dispersed pellets filling the mine width in the early stage. We found traces of a possible egg case and an exit slit from the leaf. These features are most consistent with those produced by members of Nepticulidae. Our record demonstrates for the first time the trophic association of Nepticulidae with Fagus in the Miocene and suggests the persistence of a long-term association between the insect family and the plant genus from the Miocene to the present. Other Nepticulidae leaf mines in the Miocene and leaf-mine fossils from the Geumgwangdong Formation are briefly reviewed.UUID: http://zoobank.org/fff951f6-ca82-4cca-a274-863e0d91acaa
