2016
Shcherbakov, Evgeny | Ehrmann, Reinhard | Borer, Matthias
The little-known flower mantis genus Heliomantis Giglio-Tos 1915 (Hymenopodidae) distributed in South and South-Eastern Asia is revised. All species are redescribed. New data on the morphology, distribution and ecology are given, and all known specimens are listed. The lectotype of H. elegans (Navás 1904) is designated. Due to highly divergent morphology, H. latipennis Werner 1930 from Sarawak, Borneo, is transferred to Werneriana n. gen ., leaving the genus Heliomantis with the only species, H. elegans (Navás, 1904).
