Abstract

Invasive alien mantis Hierodula sp. was firstly reported in Fukui Prefecture in 2010, and recorded from Kanagawa Prefecture in 2015. This species is regarded as originated from China. In this paper, detailed distribution survey results are shown, and additional records of the species are described from Odawara-City and Yamakita-Town in western part of the prefecture. In those areas, this species is considered to be in the early stage of invasion, and coexists with the native ones. Egg capsule sheaths of the alien species are also found in commercially available Chinese bamboo brooms, and the habit of this species to fl y toward light was fi rst observed in Gifu Prefecture.
