Abstract

Radovan Kranjčev (2013) published a paper on Croatian Mantodea containing a considerable number of data that need to be discussed. In this reply corrections of mantid misidentifications, as well as of some given statements, are presented, certain doubtful records are discussed and comments on a number of overlooked papers are given. Also, a critical review of some further problems concerning Croatian Mantodea fauna is presented, as well as a rather short historical overview of investigations of this insect order in Croatia.
