The mantis family Liturgusidae is a small family of praying mantids that is represented by four species in Borneo. Keys to the Bornean taxa are provided with illustrations of the distinguishing features. Distribution maps and illustrations are provided for all the Bornean species; illustrations are also provided for all non-Bornean species of Majangella and Theopompa. Majangella moultoni Giglio-Tos, 1915 is recorded from Thailand for the first time. Theopompa opthalmica (Olivier, 1792) is recorded from peninsular Malaysia for the first time.

Part 2 of the materials to a monograph on the Mantodea of Southern Africa includes keys to the families and subfamilies, to the genera and subgenera. These keys were based on detailed studies on a comprehensive material (see KALTENBACH 1996). A large number of figures supports the descriptions of distinctive characters and facilitate identifying African Mantodea, particularly with regard to the more difficult taxa. Supplementary notes on some species of Southern Africa Mantodea will complete the concerning articles and also the checklist in part I of this paper. Hapalomantis minima (WERNER), recorded from Angola in KALTENBACH (1996) must be deleted from the list of the Mantodea known from Angola. Paramantis nyassana (GIGLlO-Tos), ascertained in the present paper from Zimbabwe, was hitherto unknown in Africa south of the Zambezi-River. A significant eidonomic character for distinguishing Antistia vicina KALTENBACH and A. maculipennis STAL is described and figured.

Chloromantis nom.n. is given for Chiromantis GIGLIO-Tos, 1915 [Chiromantis PETERS, 1854, Anura Rhacophoridae].

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).

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.
