Key Points

  • Empusa fasciata has been formally documented in Kosovo for the first time.
  • Historical records had previously misidentified other mantodea species in the region.
  • The research highlights a key zoogeographical finding regarding this widespread species.
  • The updated formal list of mantids in Kosovo now includes two confirmed species.

Abstract

Empusa fasciata Brulle, 1832 is reported from the Republic of Kosovo based on specimens from multiple localities. This work fills an important zoogeographical gap, as this otherwise widespread species was hitherto formally unknown for Kosovo. Historical records of other mantids are discussed, and the formal list now consists of two species.
