Miobantia Giglio-Tos, 1917 View in CoL

Terra (1995) considered Metathespis precaria Piza (1968a) as a synonym of Chloromiopteryx thalassina . Examination of the type specimen of M. precaria (deposited at ESALQ) ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 f, g, i) reveals that it is referable to the genus Miobantia . Furthermore, comparison of the type’s genitalia with those of other Miobantia species confirms that M. precaria is a junior synonym of Miobantia rustica (Fabricius, 1781) (cf. our Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 f and Fig. 22 in Scherrer 2014). Accordingly, Metathespis precaria is removed from synonymy with Chloromiopteryx thalassina and placed in synonymy with Miobantia rustica .

An updated list of synonyms for M. rustica follows:

Miobantia rustica (Fabr., 1781) Mantis rustica Fabr., 1781

= Miopteryx perloides Saussure, 1869 = Miopteryx nebulosa Giglio-Tos, 1915 = Metathespis precaria Piza, 1968 n. syn.
