Yersiniops is a genus of praying mantises native to the Americas.
The following species are also recognised in the genus Yersiniops:
Two species, Y. solitarius and Y. sophronicus, can be found in the United States. [1]
Mantis shrimps, or stomatopods, are carnivorous marine crustaceans of the order Stomatopoda, branching from other members of the class Malacostraca around 340 million years ago. Mantis shrimps typically grow to around 10 cm (3.9 in) in length, while a few can reach up to 38 cm (15 in). The largest mantis shrimp ever caught had a length of 46 cm (18 in); it was caught in the Indian River near Fort Pierce, Florida, in the United States. A mantis shrimp's carapace covers only the rear part of the head and the first four segments of the thorax. Varieties range in color from shades of brown to vivid colors, with more than 450 species of mantis shrimps being known. They are among the most important predators in many shallow, tropical and subtropical marine habitats. However, despite being common, they are poorly understood, as many species spend most of their lives tucked away in burrows and holes.
The blue rock thrush is a species of chat. This thrush-like Old World flycatcher was formerly placed in the family Turdidae. It breeds in southern Europe, northwest Africa, and from Central Asia to northern China and Malaysia. The blue rock thrush is the official national bird of Malta and was shown on the Lm 1 coins that were part of the country's former currency.
The blue-headed vireo is a Neotropical migrating song bird found in North and Central America. There are currently two recognized subspecies that belong to the blue-headed vireo. It has a range that extends across Canada and the eastern coast of the United-States, Mexico and some of Central America. It prefers large temperate forests with a mix of evergreen trees and deciduous under growth.
Squilla mantis is a species of mantis shrimp found in shallow coastal areas of the Mediterranean Sea and the Eastern Atlantic Ocean: it is also known as "pacchero" or "canocchia". Its abundance has led to it being the only commercially fished mantis shrimp in the Mediterranean.
Hierodula is a genus of praying mantids in the tribe Paramantini, found throughout Asia. Many species are referred to by the common name giant Asian mantis because of their large size compared to other mantids. Their large size and vibrant coloration make Hierodula mantids popular in the pet trade. Some widespread species include H. membranacea and H. patellifera; however this has been considered a 'catch all' genus and is currently subject to review. In 2020, three species were moved to a new genus, Titanodula.
African mantis and African praying mantis are common names for many species of praying mantis native to Africa.
Yersiniops newboldii is a species of praying mantis found in Baja California, Mexico. The original scientific description for this species was published in Transactions of the American Entomological Society in 1931.
Yersiniops sophronicus, common name Yersin's ground mantis, is a species of praying mantis native to North America.
Yersiniops solitarius is a species of praying mantis native to the United States. They are about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length and have long rear legs which aid them in jumping.
Ground mantis is a common name given to various species of praying mantis believed to hunt on or near ground level rather than high amid foliage.
Enterococcus solitarius is a species of Enterococcus.
Mirosternus solitarius is a species of beetle in the family Ptinidae.
Toxoderidae is a family of praying mantises.
Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 430 genera in 30 families. The largest family is the Mantidae ("mantids"). Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all Mantodea have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name praying mantis.
The Hawaiian hawk or ʻio is a raptor in the genus Buteo endemic to Hawaiʻi, currently restricted to the Big Island. The ʻio is one of two birds of prey that is native to Hawaiʻi, the other being the Pueo(Hawaiian short-eared owl) and fossil evidence indicates that it inhabited the island of Hawaiʻi, Molokaʻi, Oʻahu, and Kauaʻi at one time. Today, it is known to breed only on the Big Island, in stands of native ʻōhiʻa lehua trees. The species was protected as an endangered species in the United States, but was delisted in 2020. However, the IUCN classifies the species as Near Threatened.
Psenuc solitarius is a jumping spider species in the genus Psenuc that lives in Namibia and South Africa. The species was previously allocated to the genus Pseudicius. The female was first described in 2011.
Tropidomantis is a genus of praying mantis in the subfamily Tropidomantinae and tribe Tropidomantini, with species recorded from Asia and the Pacific islands.
The mantis family Amelidae was previously placed in the family Mantidae. Species have been recorded from Africa, Asia, Europe and North America.
Poachelas is a genus of African araneomorph spiders in the family Trachelidae, first described by C. R. Haddad & R. Lyle in 2008.
