The orchid mantisHymenopus coronatus(Insecta: Mantodea) is famous for its unique appearance, which resembles a flower blossom with petal-like legs and a whitish pink colour. Based on this appearance,H. coronatushas been hypothesized to be an aggressive mimic that attracts pollinators. Research on the orchid mantis has been sparse due to the difficulty of collection and maintenance. The first record of orchid mantis from Xishuangbanna, China, was originally namedH. coronatoidesbut later considered synonymous withH. coronatusbased on a morphological study. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the orchid mantis from Xishuangbanna, China, was determined to be a circular molecule of 15,589 bp containing 37 typical mitochondrial genes in the same gene arrangement as those of other praying mantises. The relatively low degree of genetic difference between orchid mantises from China and Malaysia suggests that they belong to the same species. The phylogenetic relationships inferred from 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) show thatH. coronatusis a sister toParymenopus davisoni, another rare species from Malaysia, and supports monophyletic Hymenopodinae, whereas Acromantinae is polyphyletic. This study provides useful data for studies on the population genetics, phylogeny and mimicry mechanism of the orchid mantis.
