Abstract
Mantodea specimens from Jordan were collected from various parts of the country from March 2003 to November 2005. In addition, examination and identification of specimens previously housed in the University of Jordan Insects Museum and other Jordanian collections resulted in recording 16 species in four families. Mantidae included eight species in seven genera; Eremiaphilidae included four species all within a single genus; Empusidae included three species in two genera; and Tarachodidae included a single species. Nine species were recorded for the first time in Jordan: Iris oratoria, Holaptilon pusillulum, Ameles kervillei, Ameles syriensis, Sphodromantis viridis, Mantis religiosa, Eremoplana infelix, and Empusa pennata. World distribution, collecting information within Jordan, some notes on the biology, ecology or diagnostic characters were provided for each of the recorded species.
