Abstract

This paper presents the first comprehensive checklist of Mantodea species in Myanmar, reporting a total of 54 species belonging to 11 families and 32 genera, one of which (i.e., Schizocephala bicornis) constitutes a new record for the country. Four species, Creobroter urbanus, Gonypeta brunneri, Theopompa servillei, and Rhombodera laticollis, are considered doubtful within Myanmar’s fauna and require further investigation to confirm their presence. Additionally, Aethalochroa ashmoliana, Gonypeta punctata, and Toxoderopsis taurus are regarded as erroneous records.
