New data on the genera Euchomenella and Tagalomantis (Dictyoptera: Mantidae: Angelinae)
E.O. Shcherbakov
Abstract. New material from Borneo Island, Malacca Peninsula, Pangkor and Luzon islands was examined. A new species, Euchomenella udovichenkoi sp. nov., is described. It differs from other species of the genus by shape of the hypophallus and the pseudophallus, in having a curved furcasternum, a number of joints in the cerci and an almost dull colouration. Genitalia of Tagalomantis manillensis (Saussure, 1870) are described for the first time. New localities for Euchomenella matilei Roy, 2001, E. macrops (Saussure, 1870), and E. molucarum (Saussure, 1872) are given.
