Hymenopus coronatoides

Hymenopus coronatoides is a proposed species of praying mantis that have been found in Jinghong County, Yunnan, China.

Taxonomy

The species was later rejected as a junior subjective synonym of Hymenopus coronatus by Delfosse, 2007.

Etymology

The suffix "-ides" in Greek means literally 'son of', or, more generally, 'descendant of'. It usually has the meaning 'resembling something', in this case resembling the previously described species Hymenopus coronatus, with the same "coronat" as stem. Here, the suffix "-oides" adopted the additional -o- between components of composed words.
