TL;DR: The first checklist of praying mantids (Mantodea) of Borneo is presented, with special reference to the specimens collected during the Scientific Expedition to Lanjak Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary 2008.
Abstract: We present the first checklist of praying mantids (Mantodea) of Borneo, with special reference to the specimens collected during the Scientific Expedition to Lanjak Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary 2008. With 118 confirmed species in 56 genera (including subgenera), Borneo is the island with the highest mantodean diversity known to date. In Lanjak Entimau 38 specimens representing 17 genera and 18 species were collected around the station lights and in surrounding secondary and primary forest. A new synonymy in the genus Deroplatys is established. The observed diversity patterns among Bornean mantids are discussed with reference to the biogeographic history of the Sunda Shelf since the Miocene.

TL;DR: The Mantodea of Egypt were studied by examining and identifying specimens from four main Egyptian collections and some of those preserved in international museums, collecting specimens from various parts of the country between July 2007 and April 2010, and previous Egyptian records.
Abstract: The Mantodea of Egypt were studied by examining and identifying specimens from four main Egyptian collections and some of those preserved in international museums, collecting specimens from various parts of the country between July 2007 and April 2010, and previous Egyptian records. We found 60 species belonging to 21 genera and 4 families. Eremiaphilidae included 31 species in 2 genera with one new record from Egypt, Eremiaphila gigas; Empusidae, 7 species in 4 genera; Mantidae, 18 species in 13 genera with one new species, Elaea solimani; and Tarachodidae, 3 species in 2 genera. We provide identification keys for Egyptian taxa, data on the material examined, the world distribution, synonyms and a description of the new species.

TL;DR: Examination and identification of specimens previously housed in the University of Jordan Insects Museum and other Jordanian collections resulted in recording 16 species in four families, including nine species recorded for the first time in Jordan.
Abstract: Mantodea specimens from Jordan were collected from various parts of the country from March 2003 to November 2005. In addition, examination and identification of specimens previously housed in the University of Jordan Insects Museum and other Jordanian collections resulted in recording 16 species in four families. Mantidae included eight species in seven genera; Eremiaphilidae included four species all within a single genus; Empusidae included three species in two genera; and Tarachodidae included a single species. Nine species were recorded for the first time in Jordan: Iris oratoria, Holaptilon pusillulum, Ameles kervillei, Ameles syriensis, Sphodromantis viridis, Mantis religiosa, Eremoplana infelix, and Empusa pennata. World distribution, collecting information within Jordan, some notes on the biology, ecology or diagnostic characters were provided for each of the recorded species.
