EXPLORING MANTID DIVERSITY: THREE NEWLY RECORDED SPECIES OF MANTIDS (MANTIDAE: MANTINAE) IN NAUSHAHRO FEROZE DISTRICT, SINDH, PAKISTAN

Abstract

This research unveils significant additions to the mantid fauna of Naushahro Feroze District, Sindh, Pakistan, with the documentation of three previously unrecorded species within the Mantidae family. Through comprehensive field surveys and taxonomic analysis, we identify and describe these newfound mantid species, shedding light on their ecological roles and distribution patterns within the region. This study not only expands our understanding of mantid diversity in Sindh but also underscores the importance of continued exploration and documentation of insect fauna for conservation and biodiversity management efforts.
