Stagmomantis hoorie Caudell, 1910

Stagmomantis hoorie : Caudell 1910: 123-124.

Parastagmatoptera hoorie : Giglio-Tos 1927: 590; Terra 1995: 65; Ehrmann 2002: 270 [types all listed as deposited in ZMHB, but he was apparently referring to the types of the junior synonym, Parastagmatoptera theresopolitana Giglio-Tos 1914]; Otte and Spearman 2005: 294; Agudelo et al. 2007: 124; Lombardo et al. in press [Junior synonym of Mantis flavoguttata Audinet Serville, 1839].

Types:

Lectotype Male (Fig. 15 D–F; USNM ENT 00873973). Paralectotype Female (Fig. 16 A–C; USNM ENT 00873974). One male and one female were described by Caudell (1910), neither being designated as the sole name-bearing type specimen. Therefore, they are syntypes under Article 72.1.1 of the Code. Herewithin, the male specimen is designated as the lectotype, the female the paralectotype under Article 74.1.1 of the Code. No prior fixation of a sole name-bearing type specimen was found in the literature.
