Idolomantis diabolica late-stage instar

“Devil’s flower mantis”

Figures 104 (lateral), 105 (dorsal), 106 (ventral)

Plates 61 (lateral), 62 (dorsal), 63 (ventral)

The tracheal morphology of Idolomantis is very similar to Tenodera, in particular the elongate pronotum and the dorsal-ventral switch of H-DCT and H-VCT. The curling of the abdomen over the thorax unfortunately does not lend itself well to diagramming in two dimensions; major tracheae are labeled in the figures and plates, but readers are encouraged to explore the supplementary digital data.
