This research is based on a large number of specimens received for identification from African and European entomological institutions. The composition of the Southern African fauna of praying mantids and the distribution of the species were investigated. Sixty-six genera and 185 species of Mantodea are presently known from Southern Africa. Six genera, one subgenus, 28 species and one subspecies are regarded as new for science (see p. 197). A checklist is including new synonyma. Finally, the influence of environmental factors on the distribution of some species is discussed. }, keywords = {distribution, ecological zoogeography, effective temperature., environmental factors, key, list, Mantodea, new genera, new species, new subgenus, new synonyms, Southern Africa}, issn = {0255-0105}, author = {KALTENBACH, A.

The praying mantis genus Citharomantis Rehn, 1909 is a monotypic genus known only from Sumatra and Borneo.The species is easy to recognise but, until a single record was published in 2007, there were no specific locality records for Borneo; it is recorded here from five new localities: two in Sabah, one in Sarawak, one in Peninsular Malaysia, and one in Sumatra.The characteristics of the genus are briefly outlined and illustrations are provided to distinguish it from the related genus Acromantis Saussure, 1870.The female of Citharomantis falcata Rehn, 1909 is illustrated for the first time.
