“…Although the monophyly of Microphotinini seems conclusive, additional taxonomic sampling is necessary to examine phylogenetic affinities within the tribe, with a particular focus on the non-monophyletic Microphotina (Rivera & Svenson 2016;Schwarz & Roy 2019). The circumscription of hidden diversity (Rivera & Svenson 2020;Moulin & Roy 2020), and the discovery and characterization of females of Microphotina spp. represent additional lines of inquiry necessary to improve our taxonomic understanding of this obscure lineage.…”

“…Collecting events are restricted to the periphery of the Amazon rainforest, whereas interior regions remain largely without records. Distributional data from combined sources (see Discussion); data from French Guiana (Moulin & Roy 2020) provided by Nicolas Moulin. (Rivera & Svenson 2016, all members share the following morphological traits: i) head with a narrow lower frons that is at least 4 × as wide as long; ii) prozona of pronotum with parallel lateral margins; iii) forefemora with 13-15 anteroventral spines.…”

A new species of Microphotina Beier, 1935 (Mantodea: Photinaidae: Microphotinini), Microphotina cristalino sp. nov., is described from Mato Grosso, Brazil based on two male specimens. The new species extended the distribution of Microphotina to the southern limits of the Amazon rainforest, in the Cerrado-Amazônia ecotone. A synthesis of the taxonomy, systematics, natural history, and geographic distribution of Microphotina spp. is provided, along with an updated dichotomous key to species. The hypothesis that Microphotina represents a canopy-dwelling lineage is formulated. The role of praying mantises as flagship species for insect and Amazon conservation is briefly discussed.

Whereas Mantises of Trinidad and Tobago have been comprehensively studied, species occurring on more northern islands of Lesser Antilles are little known. The present work aims at updating the current knowledge on Mantises from Eastern Caribbean Islands by compiling data from both published and grey literature, museum specimens as well as specimens we and others collected during surveys conducted over the last decades. Thesprotiella insularis (Bonfils, 1967) is revealed to be widely distributed on islands harboring moist and wet forests from Martinique to Guadeloupe. Liturgusa dominica Svenson, 2014 occurs in humid and subhumid forests of Dominica and Marie-Galante. Gonatista reticulata (Thunberg, 1815) and Thesprotia caribea Rehn & Hebard, 1938 appear restricted to the northernmost islands of the Northeast Lesser Antilles. Musonia surinama Saussure, 1869 is present in the grassland of St Martin and of Southern islands (Barbados, St. Vincent, and Grenada). Lobocneme lobipes (Redtenbacher, 1892) is only present in St. Vincent and Grenada. Epaphrodita undulata (Saussure, 1870) is re-established as synonym of Epaphrodita musarum (Palisot de Beauvois, 1805); this species was described from St. Lucia, but has not been recorded for over 150 years. Finally, a specimen of Bantiella trinitatis Giglio-Tos, 1915 was collected on Martinique in 1975, but this species was not collected again. Despite intensive searching, four nonendemic species once recorded on the archipelago have not been recorded again and might correspond to temporary settlements or to erroneous data. Acontista multicolor Saussure, 1870 does not appear to currently occur on Guadeloupe. Distribution, ecology and phenology of these species are discussed. Résumé. Les Mantes des îles de la Caraïbe orientale. Alors que les Mantes de Trinidad et Tobago ont été largement étudiées, les espèces présentes plus au nord et à l'est de l'archipel l'ont beaucoup moins été. L'objectif du présent article est d'actualiser les connaissances sur les mantes du nord-est des Petites Antilles, en nous appuyant sur les données publiées, celles présentes dans la littérature grise, les collections et les spécimens collectés durant les dernières décennies. Thesprotiella insularis (Bonfils, 1967) s'avère largement présent sur les îles arborant des forêts hygrophiles ou mésophiles de la Martinique à la Guadeloupe. Liturgusa dominica Svenson, 2014 est présent en Dominique et à Marie-Galante. Gonatista reticulata (Thunberg, 1815) et Thesprotia caribea Rehn & Hebard, 1938 ont leurs populations restreintes aux îles les plus au nord des Petites Antilles. Musonia surinama Saussure, 1869 est présent dans les milieux herbacés de St. Martin et dans ceux des îles du sud (Barbades, St. Vincent et Grenade). Lobocneme lobipes (Redtenbacher, 1892) est restreint à St. Vincent et Grenade. La synonymie entre Epaphrodita undulata (Saussure, 1870) et Epaphrodita musarum (Palisot de Beauvois, 1805) est rétablie; cette mante est endémique de St. Lucie, mais n'a plus été signalée depuis plus de 150 ans.

Vates marmorata n. sp. and Vates patrinata n. sp. (Mantidae, Vatinae) are described from French Guiana. The new species are close to V. biplagiata and V. festae, all exhibiting strong tubercles along pronotal margins but differing in male genital structures. Description, images, and measurements of anatomical parts are presented, along with distributional, natural history, and DNA barcoding data. A key to species of Vates known in French Guiana is formulated. This study highlights the value of DNA barcoding in disclosing hidden diversity in Mantodea, especially when coupled with traditional taxonomic tools.
