Description

Creobroter Audinet-Serville, 1839

Harpax (Creobroter) Audinet-Serville, 1839

= Creoboter Stål, 1877

= Creobrotra Saussure, 1898

This is a taxonomically difficult genus in need of revision. Twenty-one species occur in S and SE Asia, four are currently listed for Borneo. First instar nymphs mimic reduviid bugs. Arboricolous, also on high weeds and scrubs, in forested and open habitats.

Creobroter urbanus (Fabricius, 1775)

Mantis urbana Fabricius, 1775

Distribution. India, Myanmar, N Vietnam, S China, Sumatra, N Borneo, E Java, N Philippines (Giglio-Tos 1927, Ehrmann 2002).

Creoboter episcopalis Stål, 1877

Distribution. Borneo (Stål, 1877, Giglio-Tos 1927).
