Anaxarcha Stal 1877

Anaxarcha Stål, 1877 = Anaxandra Kirby, 1904 (er r. des cr.) = Parastatilia Werner, 1922 Related to Odontomantis, despite its long and slender pronotum (Svenson & Whiting 2009). One of the seven known species occurs with certainty in Borneo. Like related taxa, this genus is arboricolous. Anaxarcha limbata Giglio-Tos, 1915 = Oligomantis parallela Werner, 1930 Distribution. Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo (Giglio-Tos 1915 a, Werner 1930, Beier 1931 a, 1937, Ehrmann 2002). Bornean records. Sarawak: Mt. Dulit (Werner 1930; Beier 1937); Kalimantan: Petak (Werner 1933). Remarks. Beier (1931 a) considered this species to be a synonym of A. graminea; some years later, however, he treated it as valid again (Beier 1937). The 1931 synonymization let Werner (1933) treat his Oligomantis parallela as a synonym of A. graminea. Records of A. graminea south of the Isthmus of Kraa have to be reevaluated.Published as part of Schwarz, Christian J. & Konopik, Oliver, 2014, An annotated checklist of the praYing mantises (Mantodea) of Borneo, including the results of the 2008 scientific expedition to Lanjak Entimau Wildlife SanctuarY, Sarawak, pp. 130-168 in Zootaxa 3797 (1) on page 141, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3797.1.12, http://zenodo.org/record/22603
