My Mantis Collection

The choeradodis found in asia are now their own genus called asiadodis. This has happened recently though.

Had no idea, I simply used the name the original poster gave. Knowing that though I see you like the species based from your posts here

Some searching it appears the full name is Asiadodis yunnanensis. Any chance of getting that species here in the US?

They are my dream. I believe this is asiadodis laticollis. Asiadodis is the genus and laticollis is the species. I might be getting choeradodis stalli or columbica soon or possibly asiadodis yunnanensis from a guy in china. the genus Choeradodis has a much more impressive hood tho.

I have done 4 years of at home research on these two generes. They are my dream. This is asiadodis laticollis. Asiadodis is the genus and laticollis is the species. I might be getting choeradodis stalli or columbica soon or possibly asiadodis yunnanensis from a guy in china. the genus Choeradodis has a much more impressive hood tho. I will try to distribute them to the most experienced breeders in the US to get them into culture. In 3 week I will be getting metilia sp though.

Well best of luck with your dream. Sounds like there might be hope for the future then to acquire the species.

any luck with the asiadodis?

Brian, hi. It's Richard. N (administrator of Mantis Keepers and Phasmids and Mantids Group on facebook).

What you said here doesn't really add up because there are no Asiadodis sp. decribed as "A. laticollis" in that genus and the confusion might have come from the fact that Choeradodis laticollis- (Serville, 1831) is a synonym of Choeradodois rhomboidea- (Stoll, 1813).

Also, Jack (blackmerlin) told us on a different forum that the species he has in those pics he posted are indeed C. rhomboidea from South America.

oh ok i thought they were asiadodis laticollis if there was one because he is from asia so I assumed it was wild caught and didn't know about the splinting of the genera so I said it was asiadodis laticollis. I was unaware of that species being a synonym for rhombodea and I am still confused the difference between rhombodea and rhombicollis. It is hard to do much research without even a dried specimen. and im only 14 so the research is for myself. My mentor julio rivera is helping me though
