Taxonomic Revision of Genus Gonatista Saussure, 1869 (Mantodea: Epaphroditidae: Gonatistinae)

Abstract. Taxonomic revision of the genus Gonatista Saussure, 1869. One new species is described, quisqueyana n. sp. from Hispaniola. Gonatista borinquensis nom. nov. is proposed for the misapplied Mantis reticulata Thunberg, 1815. Gonatista bifasciata (de Haan, 1842) is reinstated with cubensis Saussure, 1869 as a junior synonym. Mantis grisea Fabricius, 1793 is rendered nomen dubium, and Mantis reticulata Thunberg, 1815 is transferred to Tarachodes Burmeister, 1838.
