Toxodera hauseri


Toxodera hauseri is a species of praying mantis found in Thailand, Malay Peninsula, Java, and Borneo. However, the recorded occurrence from Borneo was based solely on a photographic record from Poring Hot Springs, or at least until the examination of a physical specimen from a private collection validated it. This species closely resembles T. fimbriata but is distinguished by the greater width of the leaf-like expansions of the medial femurs.

Etymology
